Pakistan vs Peru
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.
Peru
Peruvian children in the Andes attend school at altitudes above 4,000 meters.
Highland children study at elevations higher than most European mountains, walking mountain trails to reach classrooms where temperatures drop below freezing.
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.
Peru
Peru follows a 6-5-2 system. Spanish is the primary language, with intercultural bilingual education in Quechua, Aymara, and Amazonian languages. Education is free and compulsory from ages 3 to 16. The Qali Warma school feeding program reaches millions.
