Pakistan education crisis report

A policy review by the Pakistan — Civil Services Academy (CSA) reveals that over 25 million children in Pakistan remain out of school, two years after the declaration of a National Education Emergency. The report cites poor execution, weak institutions, inadequate funding, and fragmented administration as key failures. Punjab has the highest number of out-of-school children (9.6-10.4 million), while Balochistan is the most structurally disadvantaged province with thousands of non-functional schools. The review recommends creating a nationwide student registry linked to Nadra records, expanding double-shift schools, and increasing incentives for female teachers.
