Pakistan Drop Out Ratio
The drop out ratio in
Pakistan is maximum in south Asia. What do they do then? It is a big
question. Do they spend their time in playing or in indulging in
innocent pranks? They do not do anything of this sort as only a few
lucky play and enjoy. Staying at home they perform odd jobs like tending
their younger brother and sister, collecting firewood from the withered
woodland, caring for cattle and taking bath in the villages ponds with
their animal-friends, working in the fields with scythe and hoe or
sweeping floors and so on. If not working at home they are sent to work
places. They find employment in cottage industry, tea-stalls, roadside
dhabas, restaurants, confectionery shops, middle class houses and so on.
Those who are still free roam streets begging, picking rags and plastic
items from trash and filth for resale. Many end into a force of bonded
laborers.
