4 black holes that are and will keep sinking us till fixed:

1/ Unwillingness to tax the untaxed sectors and documentation of the economy.

2/Pension reforms. We are now at around 1.2 trillion mark and rising fast.

3/ NFC rationalization and enforcement of PFC.

4/ Privatization. SOEs are leaking 1 trillion plus

Ok, can you explain the reasoning for bringing down the education spending? And also the government says it wants a "export" economy but we don't see investment into those sectors, why is that? I also read through these reforms and none of them are substantially beneficial to the country at large.(the link u sent)

I tried to compare Pakistani federal system. Got this response from AI .

" Unlike India, Education is no longer a concurrent list subject in Pakistan. Following the passage of the 18th Constitutional Amendment in 2010, the Concurrent Legislative List was abolished, and the responsibility for education was fully devolved to the provincial governments. [1, 2]"

Babus are the root cause which is blocking any actual reform for these points. Well mostly 1, 2 and 4. For 3 it’s the political parties.
