SDG 4 · Quality Education

Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all

Pakistan adopted the 2030 Agenda through a unanimous National Assembly resolution in 2016, making the SDGs a national development framework. This page maps every SDG 4 target and its official UN indicators to what the department's own data can measure today — computed live from the school list of 30 July 2026, with honest labels where data does not yet exist.

Gender Parity Index (GPI) by level — Indicator 4.5.1

Girls' enrollment ÷ boys' enrollment. Parity = 0.97–1.03 (UNESCO band). Computed from gender-designated school enrollment.

Apparent survival through the grades — proxy for 4.1.2

Students in each grade per 100 in Grade 1 (cross-sectional snapshot, not a tracked cohort).

District gender parity — equity lens for 4.5

SDG 4.5 demands parity not just provincially but everywhere. Districts furthest from parity are the priority map for girls' school upgrades and stipends.

Method & sources

Targets and indicators follow the official SDG 4 indicator list ↗ maintained by the UNESCO Institute for Statistics ↗. Balochistan values are computed from the SED School List of 30 July 2026. Cross-sectional grade ratios are labelled as proxies — true completion rates (4.1.2) need cohort tracking, which EMIS student-level records will enable.

The three data gaps to close

  • Learning outcomes (4.1.1) — publish BEAC Grade 5 & 8 assessment results by district and sex
  • School facilities (4.a.1) — sync the EMIS facility survey (electricity, water, sanitation, disability access)
  • Trained teachers (4.c.1) — link PITE training records and CTAP results to the school registry
