District has progressed from a very low to only a low literacy level region. This transition is probably due to the increase in participation rate inthese districts as compared to that of 1981.From total scenario, it is apparent from Table 10 that a total of 83 districts of Pakistan are in the region of “low literacy” and “very low literacy”,while only 21 districts are in the region of high literacy or very high literacy. None of the districts of the provinces of NWFP and Balochistanare in the region of “very high literacy”, while only 2 districts of NWFP and none of the districts of Balochistan lie in the region of “high literacyrate”. It is also indicative that shifts of districts to high literacy regions from low literacy regions, between 1981 to 1988, were mostly in theprovinces of the Punjab and Sindh. The provinces of Balochistan and NWFP have progressed very slowly in respect of literacy rate, during thisperiod of 17 years (1981-98).It is also observed from provincial statistics that in 1981 a higher percentage (26.15) of the districts were in the region of high literacy ascompared to 1998 (20.19). Major shifts as revealed in Table No. 9 are from regions of “very low literacy” to the region of low literacy. About23 districts from all over Pakistan have moved from the region of “very low literacy” to the region of “low literacy”, during these 17 years. Thefollowing table presents further details:-Table 10Number of Districts in Various Literacy Regions (1981-98)Area Years Number of Districts in:Very High literacyRegions (60.70 % andHigh literacy Regions(45.93 to 60.70 %)above)Low literacy regions(45.93 % to 60.70 %)Very low literacy regions(30.16 % to 45.93%)PUNJAB 1981 03 07 15 ---- 251998 04 09 18 03 34SINDH 1981 02 03 03 01 091998 03 03 09 06 21NWFP 1981 --- 01 08 03 121998 --- 02 13 09 24BALO-CHISTANALLPAKIS-TANTotalDistricts1981 --- 01 --- 15 161998 --- 01 03 22 261981 05 12 26 19 621998 07 15 43 40 10524
Variations in the literacy rates of different districts of Pakistan deserve special consideration for developing future strategies for the promotion ofliteracy in the country. As far as under-developed districts are concerned, unless these are not brought at par with comparatively developeddistricts, gender disparities are not likely to be eliminated. Further, it is inconceivable to promote balanced socio-economic development in thecountry without removing such sharp disparities in the field of literacy and basic education. The challenge has to be taken up by the new districtgovernments, as well as new elected government as a joint venture with a strong “political will” which is required for promotion of literacy.25
