Nigeria vs Pakistan
Side-by-side comparison of how these places approach childhood.
Nigeria
Nigeria has more children than any European country has people.
With 93 million people under 18, Nigeria's child population exceeds Germany's entire population.
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.
Nigeria
Nigeria's 6-3-3-4 system (primary, junior secondary, senior secondary, university) varies enormously by state. Northern states have lower enrollment and rely heavily on Almajiri Islamic schools. Southern states have stronger infrastructure and outcomes.
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.
