If people believe that decreasing (in % of Total Budget Outlay) the education budget for Punjab is justified from both micro and macro level perspectives and how Pakistan overall is faring - Punjab being 55% of Pakistan where 60% of schools lack basic facilities then I rest my case.
Indeed it is a very sad state but if Rulers focus on Education how would they prolong their tyrannical rule which is worse than Kingdom yet people call it Democracy.
I just added Nepal also in the comparison so PMLN supporters get the overall picture of the region.

I recall a conversation my grandfather used to narrate with an old friend of his who happened to be Governor of Punjab -
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mushtaq_Ahmed_Gurmani when my grandfather asked the then Governor why he has no road to his village - he said
"Am I a fool?!? That I allow road to be built to my village and open the roads for uneducated to seek education and challenge my rule - I will NEVER allow that"
Same thinking prevails in current leadership of Punjab which unfortunately is also the leadership of Pakistan - as we discuss a 60 year old quote of Ex Governor - and it's still relative today in 2016.
Older data as I do not have latest OOSC figures; if someone have it; then may add to this table:
