Pakistan Schooling
I think that the literacy rate over there is really low, they say about 20% since Independence 61 years ago. Now about only half of the Pakistinian population can read and write. One in three school-age Pakistani children does not attend school, and of those who do, a third drop out by fifth grade. Girls’ enrollment is among the lowest in the world, lagging behind Ethiopia and Yemen. The only thing I can think about this that will effect the rest of the world is that it might bring down our economy, our other countries will have to step up and help them, which Im sure in return they will give them aid for whatever they need if they can teach them. Then, that would create alot more allies throughout the world, which could cause alot of problems and could also possibly cause another war. If I was in Pakistan, I think I would go insane not being able to read or write, I cant imagine how they do it. But I think that their other senses would be stronger since they cant do that, maybe theyre alot better at combat type stuff, maybe there better at sports, who knows?
