    Illiteracy: People don’t have enough education and that means they can’t do most jobs. People struggle to communicate effectively if they don’t have education needed. This means that people that have innovative or great ideas can’t share them or put them into action because they don’t have the education that they need to accomplish that. The Central Connecticut State University did a study which showed that South Africa is one of the most illiterate countries in the world. The rankings are based on 5 categories that are used as indicators of the literate health of nations: newspapers, libraries, education inputs and outputs, and the availability of computers. South Africa was ranked as 56th overall. (BusinessTech, n.d.).Research shows that 58% of Gr 4 learners in South Africa can’t read and 29% are completely illiterate. (Help2Read, n.d.).

In this era of technology, advancement and globalization, education is the key to success and peace. Education is considered as the cheapest defense of a nation. But the worst condition of education in Pakistan reflects the fact that it is unable to defend its own sector. Though 62 years have passed and 23 policies and action plans have been introduced yet the educational sector is waiting for an effective educational reforms. With respect to Human Development Index, Pakistan has been placed by UNDP at 136th position, lower than some of its regional neighbors like Sri Lanka, Maldives, India and Myanmar mainly due to its low literacy rate and low primary level enrolment. In different reports the Ministry of Education claimed that literacy in Pakistan is over 50%, but open sources disagree with it and they say that it is merely 35%. Ratio of budget indicates the level of importance given by a nation to the education. Historically, Pakistan has been spending less on education, as compared to other countries in the region. Pakistan spends less than 2% of its GDP on education which is less than Iran, India, Nepal, Bangladesh and Maldives the neighboring countries of Pakistan, the world standard stands at 5% of the GDP.
