Karachi most literate city in Pakistan, says report
KARACHI, Oct 30: The city by the sea has beaten the rest of the country
for the top slot on the literacy rate ladder, according to statistics mentioned
by the Pakistan Millennium Development Report of 2006.
In 1998, Rawalpindi was
at the top slot, followed by Karachi, Lahore, Jehlum, Gujrat, Sialkot, Quetta,
Chakwal, Abbottabad, and finally Gujranwala, rounding off the top 10 most
educated districts in Pakistan. Seven years later, however, the positions have
changed slightly. Karachi now holds the top slot, followed by Rawalpindi. Lahore
has maintained its position at number 3, while Chakwal has moved up four places
(from number 8 to number 4). Gujranwala is up five places (from number 10 to
number 5), Jehlum and Gujrat have dropped two places to numbers 6 and 7
respectively, Quetta has dropped one place to number 9, and Sialkot has dropped
a whopping four notches to number 10 (from number 6 in 1998). Daily Times
