A comparison between the urban and rural population of Pakistan and between males and females reveals that rural literacy (34.40 %) is lessthan that of urban literacy (63.08 %), and female literacy (31.58 %) is less than male illiteracy (54.43 %). But trends indicate that femaleliteracy has increased at a greater rate than male literacy during 1972-1998. Similarly the increase in literacy during the same period is alsobetter in rural areas than in urban areas. Rural literacy in 1981 was about one third of urban literacy. The gap between the two has slightlydecreased from 1972 to 1998.12. REGIONS OF LOW AND HIGH LITERACY RATE IN PAKISTAN ACCORDING TO CENSUS OF 1998On the basis of the data obtained from the Population Census Report (1998), an analysis of literacy for this profile has been carried out as pernational norms. As a first step the ‘Mean and Standard Deviations’ of the literacy rates were worked out which came out to be 43.92 and 13.98respectively. With the help of these two parameters, the country has been divided into the following four literacy regions as shown in the chartbelow:Region Literacy rate range Description of regionRegion of very low literacy Upto 29.96%One Standard Deviation (13.98) below the mean (43.92)(RVLL)(43.92 – 13.98 = 29.94)Region of low literacyBetween the value of an Standard Deviation (13.98) belowFrom 29.94% to 43.92%(RLL)upto MeanRegion of high literacy From 43.92% to 57.90%One Standard Deviation (13.98) above the Mean (43.92)(RHL)(43.92 + 13.98 = 57.90)Region of very high literacyMore than Mean (43.92) plus one Standard DeviationMore than 57.90(RVHL)(13.98)The analysis regarding the regions of low and high literacy based on 1981 and 1998 Censuses, alongwith a comparative situation of 1981 and1998, is given as under:Tables-10 and 11 indicate that only 3 districts of Punjab lie in the region of very low literacy rate and these are from the “Saraiki belt” ofSouthern Punjab. In Sindh, there are 6 districts, in NWFP 9 districts and almost the whole of Balochistan province (22 districts out of total 25)lies in this region. Only 04 districts of Punjab and 03 districts of Karachi in the Sindh Province fall into the category of the very high literacy rateregion. Districts of Gujranwala, Faisalabad, Jhelum and Gujrat in Punjab, which were in the region of low literacy rate in 1981 have progressedconsiderably and have jumped to the region of high literacy rate in 1998. The same is the case with Shikarpur and Larkana in Sindh, Malakand,Peshawar Mansehra, D.I.Khan, Bannu, Kohat, Hangu, Chitral, and Mardan in NWFP. However in the Province of Balochistan only Panjgur23
