It is no secret
that Pakistan is going to fail the target of achieving the Millennium
Development Goals by 2015. On the other hand Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and India
are on track to achieving the MDGs by 2015. What is alarming, according to a
report, is that Sindh will achieve MDGs in 2049, Punjab in 2041, Khyber
Pakhtunkhwa in 2064 and Balochistan in 2100.
Furthermore, the education sector is in a terrible state. There are 25 million out-of-school children throughout Pakistan. It is reported that one in ten children in the world not in primary school lives in Pakistan. Just imagine how frail and weak the education sector is.
Moreover, 26 countries are poorer than
Pakistan but send more children to schools. Only one in three Pakistani women
in rural areas can read. Only 50 percent of Pakistani schoolchildren can read a
sentence. The real reason behind the massive failure of the education sector
here is politicisation of the system.
