“Illiteracy” one of the growing issues for the economic development of society refers to a person who is ignorant and is not able to read and write. Illiteracy offers resistance in the progress and development of an individual, as well as society. The purpose of this blog is to analyze main aspects which give rise to the concept of illiteracy in Pakistan.
The first and immediate cause of illiteracy in Pakistan is the economic standing of people of Pakistan. The economy of Pakistan in general is poverty ridden. Illiteracy is directly linked with poverty. It is the most depressive feature of Pakistani people and particularly the people of Pakistan living in rural areas where the people are living beyond the poverty line. They are ill-health, ill-fed and ill-clothed; they tend to learn some skills for their livelihood only to be followed by their children to fulfill the basic necessities of life. As a result, they get fewer opportunities of getting quality education, and consequently the teenagers get engaged in their father’s occupation in order to earn for their livings.
The second cause of illiteracy in Pakistan is the mindset of the people of Pakistan which brings up the concept of child labor. Some people think that being educated is worthless, so they send their children to work against their children’s will in the ages in which they are meant to get education. This is due to the lack of awareness about the significance of education. The government of Pakistan should take adequate steps in order to eradicate this problem.
Illiteracy in female population is evident as most of the extremist and other and conservative people consider educating females worthless. The traditional picture of a girl doing the household chores and raising children has been rubbed into their minds and therefore, they cannot be convinced to let their daughters gain knowledge.
Therefore, it can be concluded that strict measures should be taken to eradicate these root causes which resists the spread of education. The government of Pakistan should organize some campaigns against the awareness of education, cheap but quality education should be made available to lower income masses for educating them is the only way to bring peace and serenity in our country.

Our country is classified into the 3rd World countries mainly due to the connection of poverty with education or Literacy Rate. Poverty is the biggest disadvantage and the largest obstacle in the development of our country. Our country is an agricultural country and the profession of many people living in Pakistan is with this vast category. The people in this category and the farmers are unable to feed their families fully and as a result, development stops and population increases.
This great increase in the population of the Pakistan is a hindrance in the correct and efficient caring of the family. That is why many of the people are unable to provide such and such level of education to their children and so the literacy rate of the country on the whole decreases. The second main problem is related to the people living in villages and other small places. It is said that the population of the villages is many times more than of the urban people. This is why the people cannot teach and train their children and a vast number of illiterate children remain in the country.
