AI Overview
According to the ASER Pakistan 2025 report released on March 26, 2026, 92.2% of children aged 6–16 are enrolled in school, reducing the out-of-school children (OOSC) figure to 5 million, significantly lower than previous estimates. The report highlights 7.7% of children (6–16) are out of school, with higher enrolment driven by increased private and public spending exceeding Rs. 5 trillion.

Key Trends in ASER Data:
Declining OOSC Figures: Previous, higher estimates (e.g., 25 million) are challenged by recent ASER 2025 data, which notes that the 5 million figure represents the 6-16 age group, whereas other surveys may use different age brackets, such as 5-16.

Gender Parity: Girls' enrollment has improved, with girls performing equally or better than boys in rural literacy and arithmetic.
Private vs. Public Schools: The ASER 2023 report noted a high demand for private schools (46.5% of students in 2021-22), and substantial private household spending on education, estimated around Rs 2.8 trillion.
Pre-school Enrollment: The ASER 2025 report highlighted that 41% of children aged 3-5 are not in school, indicating most parents begin schooling at age 6.
