Report Reviews Public Schools Across Punjab
A detailed report by the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics and FAFEN (Free and Fair Election Network) has reviewed public schools across Punjab. The study used more than a dozen indicators to measure the quality of education and school facilities.
The report examined student enrollment, exam performance, availability of clean drinking water, electricity, and other basic facilities. These factors were used to evaluate overall school performance in different districts.
Rahim Yar Khan Among Lowest-Performing Districts
According to the findings, Rahim Yar Khan ranked among the bottom three districts in Punjab in terms of education performance. The district also recorded one of the lowest literacy rates in the province, after Rajanpur and Dera Ghazi Khan.
The results show serious challenges in both education quality and basic infrastructure in these areas.
Lahore Shows Strong Improvement
In comparison, Lahore showed clear improvement in the education sector. Nearly 80 percent of schools in the district were reported to have proper facilities and services. Due to this progress, Lahore secured the fifth position among all districts in Punjab.
Need for Targeted Reforms
Officials said the report highlights progress in major urban centers but also points out ongoing problems in underdeveloped districts. They stressed the need for focused reforms to improve school infrastructure, teaching standards, and overall education quality across Punjab.
