  2. SCHEME OF PRESENTATION • Six Education for All Goals • Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) related to Education • Progress in achieving each EFA Goal • Goal 2 – Primary Goal • Completion / Survival Rate till Grade V • Adult Literacy • Goal 5 – Gender Parity • Steps taken • Major challenges and Barriers

  3. SIX EDUCATION FOR ALL GOALS The following are the six goals of Education for All set in Dakar in the year 2000 to be achieved latest by the year 2015: - • Expanding and improving comprehensive Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE), especially for the most vulnerable disadvantaged children. • Ensuring that by 2015 all children with special emphasis on girls and children in difficult circumstances have access to and complete free and compulsory primary education of good quality. • Ensuring that the learning needs of all young people and adults are met through equitable access to appropriate learning, life skills and citizenship programs. 1

  4. Contd…… SIX EDUCATION FOR ALL GOALS • Achieve a 50% improvement in levels of Adult Literacy by 2015, especially for women and equitable access to basic and continuing education for all adults. • Eliminating gender disparities in Primary and Secondary Education by 2005, and achieving gender equality in education by 2015, with a focus on ensuring girls full and equal access to and achievement in basic education of good quality; and • Improving all aspects of the quality of education and ensuring excellence of all so that recognized and measurable learning outcomes are achieved by all, especially in literacy, numeracy and essential life skills. 2

  5. MILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALS (MDGs) RELATED TO EDUCATION 3

  6. PROGRESS IN ACHIEVING EACHEFA GOAL • Goal 1 – ECCE: • “Expanding and improving comprehensive Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE), especially for the most vulnerable disadvantaged children.” ENROLLMENT BY SECTOR (2010-11) 4

  7. Contd…… PROGRESS IN ACHIEVING EACHEFA GOAL • Projected Achievements by 2015: • In ECE the National EFA Plan (2001-15) target is 50% net enrolment rate by 20015. Against the said target the present (2009-10) net enrolment rate is 34%. As such Pakistan has to increase NER up to 16% in next five years i.e at the rate of around 3% per annum which is achievable in terms of access/enrolment. However, so far as the quality is concerned we may not be able to provide quality ECE Programmes because of various factors and barriers. 5

  8. 2010-11 60 Source: PSLM Survey 2009-10 GOAL 2 – PRIMARY EDUCATION “Ensuring that by 2015 all children with special emphasis on girls and children in difficult circumstances have access to and complete free and compulsory primary education of good quality.” 6

  9. NET PRIMARY ENROLMENT RATE – PROJECTED STATUS BY 2015 Progress in net primary enrolments during the last five years has occurred at an average rate of 1% per year. Unless massive changes take place in the education sector, the net enrolment rate is not expected to exceed 65% by 2015. Net Primary Enrolment Rates 2001-11 7

  10. 120 100 100 80 65 60 40 20 0 2008/09 EFA 2015 COMPLETION / SURVIVAL RATETILL GRADE V Completion/survival rates to Grade V slipped during the past five years – from 52% in 2004/05 and 58% in 2006/07 to 65% in 2008/09. With some improvements in poverty levels and assuming that huge investments in good quality education take place in the very near future, this can be expected to rise, at the most to 70% by 2015. 8

  11. ADULT LITERACY “Achieve a 50% improvement in levels of Adult Literacy by 2015, especially for women and equitable access to basic and continuing education for all adults.” Achievements:The 10+ age group adult literacy rate of Pakistan as per national census 1998 was 45% which increased to 58% (male 70%: female 46%) according to the findings of the Pakistan Social and Living Standards Measurement (PSLM) survey 2010-11. 9

  12. 2010-11 58 2010-11 Male literacy rate as compared to female is fairly higher in all the provinces. It is highest in Punjab i.e. 73% and lowest in Baluchistan i.e. 64% 70 10

  13. Overall female literacy rate is only 46%. The lowest literacy rate amongst females is in rural areas of balochistan and Sindh 2010-11 46 11

  14. INCREASE IN ADULT LITERACY RATES AND PROJECTED STATUS 2015 Similar to net primary enrolment rates, adult literacy rates (for 10+ years old) moved at a slow pace of almost 1% per annum in the past five years. At this rate, with more efforts, it is expected to reach a level of not higher than 65% by 2015. Adult Literacy Rates: 2001/02-2010-11and Projected Status 2015 12

  15. GOAL 5 – GENDER PARITY “Eliminating gender disparities in Primary and Secondary Education by 2005, and achieving gender equality in education by 2015, with a focus on ensuring girls full and equal access to and achievement in basic education of good quality; GENDER PARITY IN PRIMARY EDUCATION At a value of 0.84, gender parity index for primary education has hardly moved over the past five years. Though fairly close to the target, this index may reach its target by 2015 – irrespective that the primary enrolment rates may remain fairly low e.g. in KPK, net enrolment rates of only 58% for boys and 45% for girls yields a gender parity index for primary education of about 0.8. 13

  16. Contd…… GOAL 5 – GENDER PARITY Gender Parity Index (GPI) Primary Education: 2001/02-2010/11 and Projected 2015 Gender Parity Index (GPI) Secondary Education: 2001/02-2010/11 Gender Parity Index (GPI) in Youth Literacy: 2001/02-2010/11 and Projected 2015 14

  17.
