Literacy rate improves by 2pc, but education spending falls in 2025​

ISLAMABAD: The literacy rate for individuals aged 10 and above in Pakistan rose from 61 to 63 per cent, while spending on education faced a decline, according to Economic Survey 2025-26.

It stated that male literacy was 73pc and female at 54pc, reflecting a gradual progress and narrowing gender gap.

Urban areas continued to have higher literacy rates with a total of 74 per cent (81 per cent for males and 68 per cent for females), while rural areas had a lower rate of 55 per cent (67 per cent for males and 44 per cent for females).

Rural female literacy showed the most significant improvement. Punjab recorded the highest literacy rate at 68 per cent, followed by Sindh and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, both at 58 per cent. Balochistan had the lowest rate at 49 per cent.

The urban–rural divide persisted with urban Punjab at 78 per cent and rural Sindh at 39 per cent. Overall, the data highlighted steady but uneven progress with rural female literacy playing a key role in the observed improvements, despite continuing regional and gender disparities.

63% literacy rate for a country is shameful.

I want to see Pakistan become much stronger and more advanced.

Based on the budget figures above, it makes me sick to see LOW numbers than Sri Lanka, Congo, Moldova, Zimbabwe, etc.

We should achieve $1.3 - 1.5 trillion USD economy and budget capacity this year, just imagine that.

Scores:

War against India - A++
Mediation between Iran and US tensions - A+
Support for the Middle East – A+

Public Speaking - A+
Hospitality - A
Intelligence - A++
Large Population - A+

Budget Planning - F (see result)
Economy - F (see another result)

Punjab recorded the highest literacy rate at 68 per cent, followed by Sindh and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, both at 58 per cent. Balochistan had the lowest rate at 49 per cent.

So KPK successfull improved it's loteracy rate to 58% as it was previously reduced to 53% due to Fata merger..

Good. The 21% provincial education budget spending is proving helpful.

1. Tax real estate transactions based on actual value

2. Tax dormant real estate

3. Tax the retail sector (not half measures)

4. Reduce petrol levy

5. Reduce tax on solar

I am sure 1 and 2 will ruffle alot of feathers and its detractors stamping anti national or traitor remarks.

Role out Inheritance Tax - the single biggest change that no political party in Pakistan wants to bring up in any discussion, debate.

Most of the PTI Shaikh Chillis on the forum probably don't want that either.
