Over 4.9 Million Children in KP Deprived of Education
Despite substantial investments in elementary and secondary education in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa KP, more than 4.9 million children remain out of school across the province’s 35 districts, as revealed by the 2023 Digital Population Census. The data highlights a stark gender disparity, with 1.99 million boys and 2.92 million girls unable to access education. The students can get latest updates of Over 4.9 Million Children in KP Deprived of Education.
Several districts in KP have alarmingly high numbers of out-of-school children. Peshawar leads with 519,928 children 200,142 boys and 319,767 girls not attending school. Other affected districts include:
- Bajaur – 292,894 children 113,677 boys, 179,210 girls
- Swat – 294,320 children 114,918 boys, 179,386 girls

Other districts, including Abbottabad, Kohat, Mansehra, and North Waziristan, also report thousands of out-of-school children, with girls disproportionately affected.
The number of out-of-school children in KP has seen a worrying increase over the years:
- In 2018, a survey by KP’s Elementary and Secondary Education Department estimated 1.8 million children were out of school, despite an expenditure of Rs227 million.
- By 2021-2022, the Benazir Income Support Programme BISP census reported a sharp rise to 4.7 million.
- The latest 2023 census now indicates that 4.9 million children are without access to education.
The KP Assembly’s Standing Committee on Elementary and Secondary Education, led by Taj Khan Tarand, has taken notice of the situation, instructing the education department to analyze the underlying causes and present a detailed report. However, despite numerous efforts, KP’s Minister for Elementary and Secondary Education, Faisal Tarakai, has not provided any comments on how the government intends to address this escalating educational crisis.
