In Pakistan, as per a report from The Express Tribune, the literacy rate in 2022 has shown a consistent trend of higher literacy rates among males compared to females. This persistent pattern has hindered efforts to bridge the gender gap in literacy.
The male literacy rate stands at 70 percent, while the female literacy rate lags behind at 48 percent. This discrepancy reflects the challenges faced by women in accessing quality education and emphasizes the urgent need for targeted interventions to address this issue.
According to The Express Tribune, citing the Population and Housing Census, the overall gross enrollment rate in the country is 78 percent, with males comprising 94 percent. Even in rural areas, the male literacy rate remains high at 63 percent, compared to only 36 percent for females, highlighting the persistent gender disparity in educational access.
One of the main challenges contributing to gender inequality in education is the limited access to schools for girls, particularly in rural and remote areas. Economic constraints, long distances to schools, and cultural barriers often hinder girls from pursuing education. Early marriages and child labor further exacerbate the issue, perpetuating the cycle of illiteracy.
