The percentage of out-of-school children varies across provinces, with Punjab at 37.8%, Sindh at 34.8%, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa at 37.5%, and Balochistan at 57.9%. These numbers highlight the severity of the issue and the need for effective solutions to address it. Implementing policies and programs to increase access to education and reduce the number of out-of-school children is crucial to addressing this issue.
