‘Lack of funds’ resulting in education crisis: report
ISLAMABAD:
According to a report submitted to the Oslo Summit on Education for Development, where PM Nawaz Sharif was amongst the speakers, the education sector in Pakistan is in crisis and financing remains a critical issue.
The country case study titled “Financing Education in Pakistan: Opportunities for Action” said the inclusion of right to education in the Constitution showed an elected government’s commitment to education.
According to the study released on Saturday by the Norwegian government which hosted the summit, domestic financing is the largest and most important source of funds for the sector.
Pakistan’s commitment to education is reflected in its longstanding target of spending four per cent of the GDP on education.
