Gender Issues in Education: A Sociological Study on Pakistan's Reform Policy

Abstract

The main aim of this study is to investigate gender-related issues in literature that have been published, with a particular focus on education in Pakistan. Many studies have highlighted that the education system in Pakistan has numerous challenges, such as inadequate policy implementation based on international standards, curriculum standards, and a lack of technology integration in education. Despite significant progress made in advancing women's educational rights, the pace of growth has slowed down in recent times. The current lack of progress in education is adding to the growing list of challenges that Pakistan may face in the future. With a rising young population in other developing countries that are also focusing on education, Pakistan faces increasing competitive pressures to keep up. Pakistan has been working on reforming its education agenda and has given significant importance to equity and equality in education. This has highlighted the potential of all stakeholders, including governments, civil society, and donors, to bring about positive changes in the education sector. This study has utilized various sources, including Google Scholar, Research Gate, and an Elsevier journal. After analyzing and discussing previously published literature, this study has presented significant findings and drawn valid conclusions.
