Uganda vs Pakistan
Side-by-side comparison of how these places approach childhood.
Uganda
Uganda has the world's youngest population, with half its people under age fifteen.
With a median age of just 15.7 years, Uganda's children are literally the majority of the country, shaping every aspect of society.
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.
Uganda
Uganda follows a 7-4-2-3 system inherited from British colonial education. Primary school is seven years with instruction in local languages for the first three years, then English. Universal Primary Education was introduced in 1997, eliminating fees.
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.
