School buildings

It is a well established fact that education is the answer to many of the problems of the country. But Pakistan has one of the lowest literacy rates in the world. But in Pakistan the state has been completely failed to provide quality education. Many government schools exist on paper only. School buildings, mostly in rural areas, have been converted to drawing rooms for local landowners or cattle sheds while the children are forced to study under trees or out in the open.

A country cannot progress if it doesn’t pay serious attention to its education sector. People in rural areas also have a right to quality education. It is the responsibility of the government to take revolutionary steps to improve the status of education in rural areas.
