One more reason is that Pakistan cannot afford to provide a 12-year education system similar to that of the western culture for every one of its children. The government has opened many schools on city, town, villages with free education but still the literacy rate is low. However upon closer examination it has been found that many of these schools in rural areas are not being used for education at all.illitracy in Pakistan is the main reason of poverty, unemployment and population. the government is claiming that there are

massive plans to significantly increase the levels of education as well as reducing level of disparity between men and women. Women’s rights have long been a global issue when it comes to Pakistan. In this culture women have been given a lower social status than that of men.

In Pakistan women education is very low because of honor issue.
