Pakistan vs Bosnia and Herzegovina
Side-by-side comparison of how these places approach childhood.
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.
Bosnia and Herzegovina
Bosnian children may attend three different school systems based on their ethnic group.
Post-war Bosnia operates segregated Bosniak, Croat, and Serb school curricula, meaning children learn different versions of history in the same country.
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.
Bosnia and Herzegovina
Bosnia operates three parallel education systems: Bosniak, Croat, and Serb. Each has its own curriculum, textbooks, and language designation. Nine years of compulsory education begin at age 6. The systems teach different interpretations of history.
