GENDER DIFFERENCE MORE PRONOUNCED AT MIDDLE TO HIGHER SECONDARY LEVEL! The highest adjusted net primary enrolment ratio is observed in ICT (96%). This is followed by KP (87%) and Punjab (83%). Pakistan Education Statistics (2016-17). Girls continue to lag behind: Primary NER for Boys: 98% Girls:75% Middle to Higher NER for Boys: 65% Girls:32% More girls than boys continue to be out of school!
Effective Transition Rate also higher for boys than girls! Effective Transition Rate (ETR) between Primary and Lower Secondary Levels Effective Transition Rate (ETR) between Primary and Lower Secondary Levels for Sindh, Balochistan and KP-Newly Merged Districts is less than 80%. Pakistan Education Statistics (2016-17). Low transition rate leads to where a significant proportion of school age population is excluded from the education system at the very early stage of lower secondary level.
Gender Parity Index (GPI) for Enrolment Ratios in Primary & Secondary Education: 0.75 & 0.49 for KP respectively. It is below 1 for KP which signifies higher enrolment ratios for boys. Balochistan and KP-Newly Merged Districts show the worst condition of GPI for GER in primary as well secondary education. Pakistan Education Statistics (2016-17).
Survival Rate to Grade 5 for Girls in KP and KP- Newly Merged Districts stands at 57% and 26% respectively. Survival Rate also called Retention Rate, is the proportion of a cohort of pupils who reached Grade 5 expressed as a percentage of pupils enrolled in the first grade of a given cycle in a given school year. A Survival Rate approaching 100 percent indicates a high level of retention and low dropout incidence and vice versa.
INCOME INEQUALITIES as AS PER ASER RESULTS Disparities in enrollment: EQUITY in ASER 2018 Gender Disparities: Gap between the richest and the poorest by gender. In KP, 48% poorest girls are out of school compared to 27% richest girls not going to school. 20% enrolment gap between poorest girls and poorest boys!
Richest & Boys perform better in all three competencies- ASER 2018 INCOME INEQUALITIES- EQUITY
