Abstract
Education is the cornerstone of development and success for any nation
without which all channels of progress and prosperity paralyze. Education
paves the way for innovation and creativity allowing the individuals to
thrive their skills and talents. Realizing this fact, United Nations included
education in its millennium development goals initiative back in 2000. In
accordance with the millennium development goals, all countries were
supposed to achieve universal primary education by 2015. Pakistan despite
its adherence to the goal has failed by a long margin to achieve this goal.
Pakistan has not even accomplished half of the target in Sindh and
Balochistan. The case worsens in the rural areas where an overwhelming
majority of the children are out of schools. Given the case study of district
Jaffarabad, the issue is not getting the students enrolled at schools, but the
actual problem is sustaining their enrollment. The dropout ratio of the
students in the given district is one of the highest in the entire province of
Baluchistan.
