Welcome To Punjab Education Foundation

In 2013, the issue of women doctors in Pakistan was highlighted in local and international media. In 2014, Pakistan Medical and Dental Council introduced a gender-based admission policy, restricting women to 50% of available seats . This quota was challenged and subsequently deemed unconstitutional by Lahore High Court. Pakistan's patriarchal culture, where women's work outside the home is generally considered less important than her family and household obligations, also make it difficult for women to balance a demanding career. Despite the importance of the issue, no new policies (except now-defunct-quota) have been proposed or implemented to ensure women's retention in workforce. As of 2007, public expenditure on education was 2.2 percent of GNPs, a marginal increase from 2 percent before 1984–85.

Enrolment In Primary School

Shortage of teachers and poorly equipped laboratories have resulted in the out-dated curriculum that has little relevance to present-day needs. The education is based just on cramming and the students lack professional skills as well as communication skills when they are graduated from an institute. Moreover, the universities here are too expensive, due to which the Pakistani students can't afford a university to get higher education. Moreover, the universities here don't provide skills that have a demand in market.

Secondary School Education

These barriers are further exacerbated by a lack of parental awareness of early learning, importance of on-time enrolment, and lack of social protection schemes. UNICEF is therefore focusing more closely on the obstacles to on-time enrolment, retention, completion and transition. Furthermore, the A level qualification, inherited by the British education system is widely gained in the private schools of Pakistan.

Early School Leaving

Most schools also offer drama studies, music and physical education but these are usually not examined or marked. Home economics is sometimes taught to female students, whereas topics related to astronomy, environmental management and psychology are frequently included in textbooks of general science. Sometimes archaeology and anthropology are extensively taught in textbooks of social studies. SRE is not taught at most schools in Pakistan although this trend is being rebuked by some urban schools.

Elementary Education

I would like to say to the government that please continue this initiative as this can help me continue my education.
