Pakistan has committed to achieving universal quality education by 2030, but this goal faces significant obstacles. Disadvantaged groups, including the poor, rural communities, and children with disabilities, lack access to quality education. The country's fragmented education system perpetuates inequalities, with wealthier families having better access to quality education. Recent discussions at the Education Emergency Conference in Islamabad outlined potential strategies to address the challenges ahead, but the effectiveness of these proposals remains to be seen.
