Access to education clearly varies from one community to
another. The percentage of men and women who have received
at least some education is displayed in figure (6.3).
(6.3) Percentage of Men and Women With Some Education
Men Women
Jammun 58.7% 21.6%
Singo Di Garhi 61.4 2.3
Sherpur 71.7 15.0
Balakot 60.7 not known
From figure (6.3) it is evident that the highest percentage of
educated men is found in Sherpur, with each of the other three
communities having about ten percent fewer educated men.
Furthermore, in Sherpur the median of the male population falls
in the six to ten years of education group, whereas in the other
three communities the median falls in the one to five years of
education group.
The women of Singo Di Garhi have had the least access to
education. It is interesting to observe that the percentage of
women in Jammun with education is ten times as great, even
surpassing the percentage for women in the educationally
advantaged community of Sherpur.
The percentage of educated men in each of five age groups
is displayed in figure (6.4).
