Pakistan vs Uruguay
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.
Uruguay
Every Uruguayan primary school child receives a free laptop through the Plan Ceibal program.
Uruguay was the first country to implement one-laptop-per-child nationally, giving every public school student a device and internet access since 2007.
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.
Uruguay
Uruguay follows a 6-3-3 system. Spanish is the language of instruction. Education is free, secular, and compulsory from ages 4 to 14. Plan Ceibal provides every student with a laptop and internet connectivity.
