The main objective of this study was to examine the impact
of decentralization in education on the enrolment and dropouts at
primary school level in the province and its low literacy and high
literacy districts. Two districts, one from the low literacy category and
the other from the high literacy category were selected randomly. A
complete cohort of students from grade 1 to grade 5, separately for the
pre-devolution period (1997-2002) and post-devolution period (2003-
2007) were followed using data from Education Management
Information System Punjab (EMIS) for the former and Program
Monitoring and Implementation Unit (PMIU) for the later period. A
significant increase in enrolment and decline in dropout was observed
during the post-devolution period. The less developed, low literacy
district responded in a more positive way. Thus the findings support the
argument that decentralization will help in expanding access to
education and controlling dropouts which may lead to early attainment
of universal primary education in Pakistan.
