Weather experts suggest that the country is vulnerable to climatic conditions. However, the governments have taken no precautions or safety measures to protect their population. UNICEF believes that education is not a priority for the government of Pakistan in the present circumstances.

As per the statistics issued by UNICEF, Pakistan is home to the second-highest out-of-school population. In the world. Accordingly. 22.8 million children aged five to 16, or 44% of the people of school children, are not receiving formal education.

Further, the country is struggling with dilapidated educational infrastructure, faith and ideology-based curriculum, and lack of proper teaching, among several other ills. These issues in the education sector make Pakistan an unfavourable place for good quality education.

These issues will cause the children to remain unprepared for the competitive and cutting-edge world outside the confines of the country.
