Pakistan vs Nepal
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.
Nepal
Nepali children in mountain villages may walk three hours to reach school.
In the Himalayan highlands, steep terrain and no roads mean education requires extraordinary daily physical effort.
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.
Nepal
Nepal's education system has expanded dramatically since becoming a federal republic in 2008. The 5-3-2-2 structure now reaches most communities. Over 100 languages are spoken but instruction is primarily in Nepali, with local language programs emerging.
