The province-wise literacy rate in Pakistan and its impact on the economy
The basic objective of this paper is to determine and analyse the province-wise literacy rate in Pakistan and its impact on the economy. Pakistan belongs to those nations who have the world's worst literacy rate, which is the main reason for its slow agricultural growth and sluggish economy. In this study, we will examine Pakistan's literacy rate province-wise and its comparison with some other Asian countries: India, Bangladesh, Nepal and Bhutan. Pakistan has ignored education, which is the most vital element for the success and development of any nation; this has resulted in one of the lowest literacy rate in world: Pakistan's literacy rate is ranked 113 in a total of 120 countries. This is a huge issue for the country and its economic development, as well as a shameful and alarming state of affairs. Without attention and improvements to the education sector, Pakistan is predestined to face even greater problems. In this paper, we will also focus specifically on the current literacy rates of Azad Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan.
