Around 9.2 million children do not go to schools in Punjab. However, 4.17 million are boys whereAS 5.03 million are girls. It is such a bad situation for Pakistan as it ranks second in the UNICEF rankings for out of school children. In addition, Punjab also ranked as a province with most out of school children in the world. However, only Nigeria has a bad enrolment ratio than Pakistan. 47% of children aged between 5 to 16 years do not go to school in Rahim Yar Khan.
