Education presently holds a very important position in building up a society and Pakistani government has not taken any effective steps to undermine the education system of the country. With a population of 190 million, Pakistan bears the burden of one of the most illiterate countries of Asia. An estimated 103 million Pakistanis, or 63 percent of the population, fall under the age of 25 years. However, as a result of endemic poverty, the majority of youth in Pakistan do not have the opportunity to experience a childhood.
Out of these 63 percent only a small percentage is able to receive good education as it is very costly here in Pakistan and very few people can afford it. At present the total budget set for education is three percent in Pakistan whereas India plans to raise its expenditure in the education sector by about a quarter to Rs 520.6 billion. If the government could react to this illiteracy just by increasing the budget and offering education for free or at low cost, this could really help build an educated society and a prosperous Pakistan.
