Pakistan vs Oman
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.
Oman
Oman went from 3 schools in 1970 to over 1,100 today in one generation.
Sultan Qaboos transformed Oman from near-zero literacy to 95% enrollment in the fastest education expansion in modern history.
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.
Oman
Oman's 10-2 system provides free education through grade 12. The country built its entire education system in 50 years โ from 3 schools in 1970 to over 1,100 today. Arabic is the medium of instruction with English introduced from grade 1.
