Since 2003, Punjab has made significant efforts to reform school infrastructure, teachers’ management and overall
education sector governance. Yet given the scale of the problem in the province, the need for a renewed focus and
increased resourcing is urgent. The provincial government is currently conducting an education policy review.
The 2011 Punjab Education Policy estimated that Rs. 3387 billion would be required in order to achieve 98% enrolment
rate of all children aged 5–16 years by 2024–25. While education budgets have increased since 2011, they fall far short
of the required levels currently standing at Rs. 296.19 billion for 2016–17.
