Pakistan vs Chile
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.
Chile
In Chile, every newborn receives a free 'Chile Crece Contigo' box with baby supplies from the government.
This universal program, inspired by Finland's baby box, delivers diapers, clothes, and parenting guides to every family โ a rare social policy achievement in South America.
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.
Chile
School starts at age 6. Chile has one of the most market-driven education systems in South America, with public, subsidized-private, and fully private schools competing for students. School runs roughly 8 AM to 4 PM under the extended school day policy.
