Challenges Faced By the Education sector:


There are not enough Infrastructures:

Approximately 9% of schools do not have a building available. This implies that 9 out of 100 schools are held out, putting student health at risk. The school that has buildings, large numbers of them are in disrepair. Only 58% of schools have access to electricity, 68% have access to drinking water.


Quality of learning is poor:

In 2014, only 46% of boys aged 5-16 years could read a sentence in Urdu, or Sindhi. This figure was lower at 39% for girls. In 2016, these numbers are 43% for boys and 36% for girls. This shows that the quality of education in the country is worse.

Parents and school committees are ineffective:

The concepts of parent-teachers association, the school council has been around since the 1990s. the key idea around such organizations is that increased participation and over the sight of parents in schools level, discussion and management can lead to the accountability of teachers, increased ownership of local educational income which can be used to apply upwards pressure on districts level educational staff for resolving local school level issues.

Curricula need to be changed:

Curricula in Pakistan is defined by rote-learning, with little emphasis laid on improving students' critical thinking skills. When curricula are developed in languages that are not native to an area, the ability of students to learn is negatively affected.

What should be done to improve the situation?

Pakistan is facing multiple challenges in education. This can be divided into quality (Teacher quality, learning environment, assessment) and quality (School availability increased enrollment, infrastructures, and facilities). Following actions can be taken to fix the broken education in the country:

1). Increase non-salary investments and direct them into the school infrastructure, including school building, electricity, drinking water, and availability of sanitation facilities to foster a fertile learning environment for children.

2). The government should train teachers.

3). The education system must under the supervision of the government.

4). Provide funding to schools.
