A recent UNESCO report has stated that Pakistan spends 7 times as much on arms than it does on primary education and this with 7.3 million children out of school in the country.
According to the same report, just one-fifth of this arms budget would be enough to finance universal primary education in the country
This is an indicator of our messed up priorities. More arms to fill our armaments but no education for 7.3 million children of our own. Our security paradigm will be the death of our country. I guess stealing books from babies is as easy as stealing candies.
