Literacy is a concept that refers to the ability to comprehend the progression of the world. Literacy, in other words, is vital and beneficial to the people of a nation in observing the critical nature of the world. A nation would be able to compete with the rest of the globe and express its sentiments in this manner. Literacy is critical to a country’s progress. Pakistan is making strides every day. The overall literacy rate in Pakistan is 58 percent. Pakistan must increase its literacy rate to try and make advancements. Numerous facts have an impact on Pakistani literacy. The biggest cause of illiteracy in Pakistan is unemployment.
A group of professionals conducted a study and issued a report based on their findings. The resources of the educational system were investigated. They looked for which resources have an impact on a person’s education and how much of an impact they have. Curriculum, learning materials, instructional time, teaching strategies, and students’ learning capacity are illustrations of these facts.
Financial Shortcomings:
Financial insecurity is the primary cause of illiteracy in Pakistan. According to a survey, more than 64% of Pakistanis live in poverty. It means that less than 36% of Pakistanis are economically stable. As a result, the majority of the children are sent to work to support their families rather than study. These children spend the majority of their time working. They can not get into the class or afford to pay for their educations.
Lack of educational facilities:
The majority of Pakistan’s villages lack educational institute facilities and faculty. Children from these communities are taught fundamental academics such as the Holy Quran and basic Islamic knowledge. However, for higher education, students would have to travel to another city regularly. It is difficult for individuals in less developed areas to travel for study on a daily or weekend basis. They are also hampered by a shortage of transportation. As a result, they shunned education and prioritized agriculture over education.
According to the latest reports, the proportion of kids who simply say goodbye to school is increasing. Researchers experimentally concluded that the government would fail to provide a good educational system to kids, and as a result, they would be deprived of education.
Unemployment Rate:
Another source of illiteracy in Pakistan is unemployment. In Pakistanjust a mere, 5% to 6% of the population is unemployed. The majority of educated people are unemployed and struggle to make ends meet in society. Unemployment causes people to be discontent. They lose hope and are unable to guide and motivate others in favor of education. Unemployment is a major problem in Pakistan. It is a major impediment to Pakistan’s progress.
