The Pakistan Government, through its Ministry of Education, approved the “Public Financing in Education Report,” highlighting critical funding gaps. The report shows that public spending on education has decreased to 1.5% of GDP, below the global 4% benchmark. With 88% of the budget spent on salaries and only 12% allocated to infrastructure, reforms are essential to modernize education.
The government emphasizes increasing funding to align with global standards, focusing on digital initiatives, development, and reducing the out-of-school children population. Efforts aim to address underfunding in primary and secondary education, particularly in rural provinces.
