OVERALL CONCLUSIONHIGHER EDUCATION IN LOW INCOME PEOPLE

In Pakistan, providing education to the masses had always been state responsibility. Now there has been a major push for the private provision of educational services. Moreover, corrupt politicians, feudalism, injustice are such problems which have further pressed the most pressed people of the country. Education is a tremendous tool for social change as well as an opportunity out of poverty traps. People trapped in the lower classes have trouble climbing out of it because they lack the tools to do so, because they live in a feudal society that actively works to keep them there, and education can be a form of escape hatch. But unfortunately schooling has been turned into a profit-making commercial venture. Given the fact that private returns to education are high, such a move has reinforced income inequalities. It has become big business and to top it, it is generating a lot of black money today.
