flag Pakistani educators protest declining public schools and rising out-of-school children, demanding a 20-year national education plan.

flag On International Education Day, Pakistani teachers' unions and private school associations condemned the government's education policies, citing a sharp drop in public school numbers—from 53,000 to nearly 38,000 in three years—and a surge in out-of-school children, particularly in Punjab, where nearly 30 million children are affected. flag They blamed stagnant teacher hiring, excessive school closures, frequent policy shifts, and privatization efforts for undermining education quality and access. flag Private school leaders urged tax exemptions and an end to forced closures, warning of a potential rise in street children to 50 million without a 20-year national education plan that includes private sector collaboration, especially to boost girls’ enrollment.
