There are over three million girls in Pakistan who are out of schools. Director of Global Monitoring Report on Education for All said “It’s tragic that it look violence for the world’s attention to turn to the difficulties girls face in getting to school in Pakistan. In Swat district, where Malala is from, less than a third of girls are enrolled in school, leaving two thirds at home with little chance of fulfilling their dreams. It is also a scandal to ignore girls’ education when we know it benefits not just than one girl, but also has a huge impact on their household’s health and income, and ultimately the future peace and prosperity of their country.”According to UNESCO’s 10 th Education for ALL Global Monitoring Report released on Tuesday, Pakistan is doing far worse in reducing gender gaps in comparison to other countries in the region. The report stated that 78% of the poorest girls were out of schools in 1991 in Pakistan, a figure which has only reduced to just 62% today. And today Pakistan is second only to Nigeria when it comes to the dubious distinction of having the highest number of out of schools children in the world.
