High dropout contributes to low literacy rate in Pakistan...

(5 posts)
  1. Pakistan’s Literacy rate is 50% and according to National Education Educational Policy, in literacy rate, the placement of Pakistan among the Muslim world is 31 out of 35 counties and globally 134 out of 180 countries. About 25 percent of children are not enrolled in primary schools and 50 percent of those enrolled, drop-out before completing primary school. The drop-out rate is almost 50% which is very high!

    High dropout rate has been identified as one of the major contributing factors to this dismal state of educational scenario in Pakistan. There are others too.

    -What could be contributing factors towards this dropout?
    -What could be possible solutions/suggestions?

    Dear,

    Pakistani GOVT says " One is considered as literate, if one is able to write his/her name and do his/her signature.:

    so reality is that if we have 50 % of literacy rate then you can imagine that atleast 20% of "literate one's" can only write and have doing the signature capabilities and nothing else.

    so now we have remaining 30 % of EDUCATED people, we know in this column of 30 % educated people,atleast 20% of these educated people got education from Kala,peela, hara, black type schools ,in which you have the curriculum which is useless,outdated or which does not encourage one to think always out of box or unconventional manner plus the teachers R also those ones who R oppointed on PERCHI/doing TEACHING b/c do ot have any job xyz, like I M one of these one's who did not get first class education and was in these kala , peela school and colleges.but City school, Karachi Grammar Schools R the institutions where one learns the education of INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS by high caliber teachers.In which you do not need to memorize things, where syllabus is not bogus,useless xyz.

    So we have only 10 % of real educated people who have real international high standard education, these people perform their ful strenght in their businessess , jobs xyz but yes , unfortunately most of them may be do not pay back the fruits of education to society. ( I think )
