Pakistani girls & higher education

When it comes to education, Pakistani girls are often believed to be lagging behind their subcontinental counterparts. But that may be changing fast. The former PML Q government under Pervez Elahi initated special projects for primary school education that greatly boosted Pakistani girls’ hopes.

Ever since the days of the British Raj in India, colleges and institutions for girls education have been providing high quality education services. From convent high schools in hill stations such as Shimla, Mussoorie and Murree, to more secular institution such as Aitchison in Lahore, educational institutions in British India have had a certain appeal to the local populace.

After independence, Pakistan as a modern developing country has recently made great strides in higher education. Pakistan now boasts of several educational institutions of higher education. Many of the institution are devoted solely to female education. Certain colleges in Pakistan are preferred over others. Some of the most prominent institutions of higher learning include Kinnaird College in Lahore and FG College in Rawalpindi.

Pakistani girls are now increasingly opting to go to well known universities such as the Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS), Institute of Business Administration (IBA) and NUST. The girls of Pakistan are outperforming the male counterparts in almost all academic arenas.
