In this rapidly advancing era, the importance of education cannot be denied. It is crucial for progress and prosperity of any nation. With literacy rate as low as 51.6 percent, (63.7 for males and 39.2 percent for females), 53 million of world’s illiterates are found in Pakistan. Islamabad ranks second with the highest number of out-of-school children.
Economic Growth
It has been proved by development experts that basic education is essential for financial and societal progress. Every year of school increases individual’s wages by 10 per cent globally. As many as 164 multinational companies working in Pakistan with an investment of 55.779 billion rupees are dependent on qualified people. Local industries also require educated people to proceed. A skilled and educated person has an immense potential to work efficiently.
Discipline
Needless to say that educated societies are disciplined and there is less violation of rules and regulations. People work in harmony with one another. Authorities are respected and people tend to fulfill their responsibilities.Importance of Education in Pakistan
Tolerance
Surprisingly, education inculcates tolerance. It is highly essential to fight against religious fanaticism. It is generally observed that intolerant societies are largely uneducated. There are more anti-social activities as well.
Solution for Domestic Problems
Regrettably, Pakistan is a country with high rate of domestic violence and family problems. The victims of these issues are either completely illiterate or not educated enough. So, they remain unable to eradicate such abominable practices.
Each year, a large number of women are beaten, tortured or burnt by their husbands or families. Victims have fewer places to escape to. Violence against women is not considered a major offense in the country.
