Pakistan's Punjab province faces a severe education crisis, with nearly 9.7 million children out of school due to poverty, inflation, and inadequate facilities, according to The Express Tribune. Nationwide, over 25 million children are deprived of education. Factors contributing to this include poverty forcing children into labor, early marriages for girls, lack of awareness, distant schools, and poor school infrastructure. Experts warn that without immediate reforms and increased funding, the crisis could lead to long-term social and economic challenges.
