The Pakistan Education Statistics Report 2016-17 is comprised of two sections. Section 1 focuses on the analytical aspects through trend analysis as well as measuring the effectiveness of the education system in the country, whereas section 2 presents education data pertaining to all categories of education institutions of both public and private sectors from pre- primary to tertiary levels. Data in respect of vocational, technical, teacher-training institutions, non formal basic education and Deeni Madaris working under both private and
public sectors of education is also included in the report.
The most vital role for the development of any nation is played by education. The government is striving to develop a widely accessible, equitable and quality education system in Pakistan. Only with the help of accurate, reliable and timely data, the access, equity and quality in education system can be measured. Reliable education statistics can help improve the standards, communication and collaboration and therefore we expect that the Pakistan Education Statistics 2016-17, will be instrumental to help achieve our national and
international commitments.
