By the Numbers
Pakistan's Education Crisis in Detail
The figures below draw from government reports, UNICEF, Save the Children, and the Global Gender Gap Report 2025. They form the evidence base behind every child we sponsor.
Out-of-School Children
25.37 million
More than one in three children — one of the highest percentages globally. Pakistan holds the second-highest count worldwide after Nigeria. The out-of-school rate fell from 44% in 2016–17 to 39% in 2021–22, showing gradual improvement, but the level remains very high.
Learning Outcomes
77%
Of ten-year-old children in Pakistan are unable to read and understand a simple text. Many analysts argue the real crisis has shifted — Pakistan may be closer to solving access, but is still far from solving the learning crisis.
Literacy Rate
~60%
Overall adult literacy reached around 60% in the 2024–25 Economic Survey. Male literacy stands at 68% while female literacy lags at 52% — a 16-point gender gap that myKafeel.org exists to close.
Gender Gap
Last of 148
Among out-of-school children, 42% are girls vs 35% boys. Girls drop out due to cultural restrictions, lack of infrastructure, early marriage, domestic work, and limited mobility. Pakistan ranked last among 148 countries in the Global Gender Gap Report 2025, scoring 56.7%.
Regional Disparities
34% out of school
69% out of school

Compounding Shocks
With female literacy stuck at 52% against 68% for men, and girls making up the larger share of the 25 million children out of school, Pakistan's education crisis is, at its core, a gender crisis. It was against this backdrop that the myKafeel.org Foundation was formed: to close the gap between male and female literacy and lift women's literacy from 52% toward 68% and beyond.
Our conviction is simple — every future mother deserves an education, because an educated woman makes informed decisions for herself and her family, and in doing so reshapes the prospects of the next generation. Bridging this gap is not only a matter of fairness; it is the single most effective lever for breaking the cycle of disadvantage these statistics describe.
