The Educational system of Pakistan is among the least-developed in

hundreds or even thousands of acres of land. They operates in
remote areas of Pakistan , sometimes even operates a private prison
in which they kept enemies or even local people.

In Pakistan the division of labor and family responsibilities have been
the main barriers in achieving a female literacy rate equal to that of
males. The lowest female literacy rate in Pakistan is in district
Kohistan (2.95 %) and highest in Karachi Central (73.92 %).
19. Cost Of Education
The cost of education is another determinant for parents to decide
whether to send their children; to government schools, private
schools or no schools. Cost of education has increased further due
to increased inflation. Educating a child in private school costs twice
to society compared to the cost in public school. Although private
schools appear cheaper but government fees appear “free” to
parents.
