巴基斯坦教育工作者抗议公立学校减少和失学儿童增加, 要求制定20年国民教育计划, Pakistani educators protest declining public schools and rising out-of-school children, demanding a 20-year national education plan.

在国际教育日,巴基斯坦教师工会和私立学校协会谴责政府的教育政策,指出公立学校人数急剧下降,三年内从53 000人降至近38 000人,失学儿童人数激增,特别是在近3 000万儿童受到影响的旁遮普邦。 On International Education Day, Pakistani teachers' unions and private school associations condemned the government's education policies, citing a sharp drop in public school numbers—from 53,000 to nearly 38,000 in three years—and a surge in out-of-school children, particularly in Punjab, where nearly 30 million children are affected. 他们指责教师聘用停滞不前、学校过度关闭、政策经常改变以及私有化努力破坏了教育质量和教育机会。 They blamed stagnant teacher hiring, excessive school closures, frequent policy shifts, and privatization efforts for undermining education quality and access. 私立学校领导人敦促减免税收,并终止强制关闭,警告说,如果没有一项包括私营部门合作在内的20年国家教育计划,特别是为了提高女童入学率,街头儿童可能增加到5 000万。 Private school leaders urged tax exemptions and an end to forced closures, warning of a potential rise in street children to 50 million without a 20-year national education plan that includes private sector collaboration, especially to boost girls’ enrollment.
