Abstract

The purpose of this research is to highlight the trend in educational status of Pakistan which is represented through five indicators related to access to schooling and educational achievements. In terms of access to schooling two indicators are used: pre-primary enrollment and out of school children in the age cohorts 5-16 years, while to monitor educational achievement, overall and youth literacy rates and proportion of population with tertiary education are considered. Household data of five waves of nationally representative Pakistan Social and Living-Standard Measurement (PSLM) surveys is used in estimating educational indicators for the period 2005 to 2020. To summarize the status and growth in the indicators of educational performance, non-compensatory composite indices are developed. The methodology of these indices ensures that all indicators have same importance and a full compensation among them is not allowed. The results of this exercise broadly indicate very low or almost stagnant growth in the indicators of educational status during the period 2005 and 2020.
