IRIN Asia | PAKISTAN: Hunger stalks millions as food insecurity grows | Pakistan | Food Security
Hunger pains: Pakistan's food insecurity | Pakistan | News | Newspaper | Daily | English | Online
Education
The Pakistan Education Task Force’s report, “Education Emergency Pakistan 2011”, states, “Today, Pakistan is crippled by an education emergency that threatens tens of millions of children”. The report further stated that, No country can thrive in the modern world without educated citizens. The economic cost of not educating Pakistan is the equivalent of one flood every year. The only difference is that this is a self-inflicted disaster. One in ten of the world’s out-of-school children is a Pakistani. The country is far from meeting the Millennium Development Goal (MDG) of providing universal education by 2015. It is pertinent to mention that our neighboring countries are far ahead from us in achieving Millennium Development Goal on education.
