Abstract:
This study examines gender differences in primary school enrolment in Punjab (Pakistan)
districts. This study takes two data from 34 districts of Punjab as the research object. It is found
that there are wide differences in primary school education. Enrollment rates in various districts
of Punjab. The primary school enrollment rate in the lower areas is very different. A comparison
between Punjab and Punjab in the upper and middle regions. The net enrollment rate of primary
schools in different districts is quite different Punjab is negatively related to the number of
schools, the number of teachers, the literacy rate of adult males and the number of adult females.
Literacy is positively related to per capita income and poverty.

INTRODUCTION:
Education is very important for improving
people's ability and realizing the expected
goals of social economy. Development。
Education enables individuals to broaden
their horizons and opportunities and have
voice in public decision-making. On the
macro level, education means the
sustainable development of human capital
and economic productivity. Skilled labor
force. At the micro level, education is
closely related to higher income
opportunities and higher incomes. Have
great experience。 In Pakistan, education
has suffered from a number of problems,
including underinvestment and failure
Implementation of the five year plan, lack of
goals and policy direction. Since
independence, the number of people in
Pakistan has increased. Primary school
eighteen times, enrollment expansion
sixteen times. But these results have been
defeated by the growing population. Lack of
high quality education (HDR
(1998)).Achieving economic growth is an
important goal for any economy. However,
in recent years, people have realized that
Economic growth is a necessary condition
for human development, but not a sufficient
condition. Pakistan is a good example.
Historically, countries enjoying a

satisfactory GDP growth rate have failed to
translate this positive development into a
positive one the level of human development
is satisfactory. Since 1947 independence,
Pakistan's development policy has attracted
much attention. The main task is to achieve
high economic growth, but only
occasionally provide social necessities.
There has been a production and distribution
structure that can only indirectly respond to
social goals.
LITERATURE REVIEW:
Sabir (2002) explores the fact that income
actually benefits from government subsidies
.How is the distribution of services between
men and women in Pakistan?. Benefit
correlation analysis Technology is used to
assess gender differences in public service
provision. Using secondary data and based
on estimation. Pakistan comprehensive
household survey (pregnancy induced
hypertension) and provincial subsidies for
1999-2000 years demand 1998-99. Research
shows In all four provinces of Pakistan, the
government has low subsidies for primary
education, while women do. The
disadvantage of getting primary education.
The government subsidies for higher
education lack of pertinence.The poorest
income groups have less income than the
wealth income groups, and they are good for
those who live well. Again, this Gender
differences in public subsidies are higher at
higher education levels and lowest at the
primary level, which also reflects poverty.
Khan (1997) shows that the return of
primary education investment is higher than
that of any investment. Physical capital is
agriculture, industry, or infrastructure.
Therefore, investment should be made
strictly in accordance with economic
standards .The rate of return to primary
education should be the top priority in the
Pakistan development plan. Sawada and
locksbin (2001) analyzed the decision of
family education in rural Pakistan. A field
survey of rural family education decisions in
Pakistan. This study suggests hiring more
Female teachers and the provision of more

Intra-Provincial Educational
inequality in Punjab:
Data from the PSLM analysis (2004-05)
show that the reform program of the
education sector in Punjab has made a
contribution Significant increase in gross
enrollment rate and net enrollment rate,
which is the main focus and direct focus of
these work Reform. Lessons learned from
this project show that if financial constraints
can be eased, appropriate physics will be
available. It can provide infrastructure and
employ high-quality teachers to speed up the
development. Efforts to improve educational
opportunities and educational outcomes in
Pakistan. The reform program of the
education sector in Punjab (pesrp) has
undoubtedly increased net primary
enrolment as well.The total enrolment rate
of primary schools in Punjab remains the
same, but the gap between net primary
enrolment and primary school enrolment

still exists.Punjab district. These differences
have had a serious impact on the initial
enrollment of all districts in Punjab.
Gender Disparities in Education in
Pakistan:
Gender based differences also continue to
access strategies using EFA. Female sex the
enrollment rate is lower than the male, and
the dropout rate is very high, (World Bank
2002).These gender differences are not only
due to inadequate supply of educational
facilities, but also due to cultural
factors.Values and norms that make girls
difficult to receive education: religious and
cultural emphasis, for example"Purdah" let
parents not to send girls to school in the
distance. However, it is not normal for
female students to operate in NGOs Schools
and the latest World Bank sponsored grants
show that cultural values are not opposed to
women Education, rather than parents'
demands, makes institutional arrangements
for their cultural requirements: for example,
the establishment of cultural requirements
The school is near his home, protect
women's safety, provide female teachers
respect purdah (World Bank, 2002; Sarwar,
2006).Education in Punjab. Compared with
the upper and middle areas of Punjab, the
downtown area of Punjab is quite different.
METHODOLOGY:
In this study, the secondary data is used for 34
districts of Punjab as follows;
• Net Primary School Enrolment for age 5-9
years
• Adult literacy Rate for Males (15years & older)
• Adult literacy Rate for Females (15years &
older) Source: Pakistan Social and Living
Standards Measurement Survey (PSLM) 2004-
05
• No. of Schools at Primary level
No. of Teachers at Primary level Source:
Academy of Educational Planning &
Management (AEPAM) 2003-04
• Per Capita Income per Month in Pakistani
rupees
Poverty Status (Percentage of people living
below Rs.1000 per month) Source: Planning and
Development Department, Govt. of Punjab.
Econometric Analysis:
I have used a number of variables, such as
the number of primary schools, the number
of primary school teachers, and the average
number of TeachersPer capita monthly
income, poverty status (1000 per month),
adult male literacy rate(15 years and above)
and adult female literacy rates (15 years and
above) are the determinants of net primary
differences .Enrollment in each district of
Punjab. For the sake of economic analysis, I
used the help of OLS (the least squares
method).Computer software SPSS (SOCIAL
SCIENCE statistical software package) to
find the results.
Hypothesis :
The disparity in Net Primary School Enrolment
has negative relationship with number of
schools, number of teachers, male adult literacy
