Drop out may be considered as a subsidiary problem or cause of low enrolment. Pakistan has
been facing scores of educational problems from the day of independence. This article
addresses the impact of educational devolution on students’ enrolment among different district
(from developed districts with high literacy rate to under developed districts with low literacy
rate) and their rural and urban areas at primary level in Punjab. Four Districts were randomly
selected, which covers the high, low medium and medium high literacy rate and also examine
the enrolment from urban and rural areas of the similar selected districts of the Punjab. Data
regarding enrolment were collected from Program Monitoring and Implementation Unit
(PMIU). Devolution has drastically influenced the enrolment rates at primary level,mostly the
rural areas from the developed districts and low literacy rate districts of the Punjab. Thus the
finding supports the statement that the devolution has positive impact on the participation rate
of students and similarly it also increased literacy rate of poor as well as rich districts of the
Punjab at primary level. This may lead Pakistan towards the accomplishment of
universalization of the primary education an important agenda of the Millennium
Developmental Goals (MDG).
