Kuwait vs Pakistan
Side-by-side comparison of how these places approach childhood.
Kuwait
Kuwaiti families spend an average of 15% of income on private tutoring.
Despite free public education, the tutoring industry reflects intense parental investment in academic achievement.
Pakistan
Over 20 million Pakistani children are out of school, the world's second highest number.
Despite constitutional guarantees of free education, poverty and gender barriers keep millions of children from classrooms.
Kuwait
Kuwait provides free education through university for citizens. The 4-4-4 system is gender-segregated at all levels. Private schools serve both the large expatriate population and wealthy Kuwaitis seeking English-medium or bilingual education.
Pakistan
Pakistan runs three parallel education tracks: government schools, private schools, and religious madrassas. Quality varies enormously. Each province sets its own curriculum since the 18th Amendment devolved education in 2010.
