The paper discusses and evaluates the success rate of Pakistan in
achieving Goal 2, Target 2A of Millennium Development Goal on
primary education. The significant attention has been given to the
education track record of Pakistan with special reference to the
achievement of primary education in accordance with Millennium
Development Goal. The results conclude that although the net primary
enrolment rate has increased in Pakistan, but the ground reality is
quite different than it is portrayed in the reports. The primary
enrolment is pitiably short of universality because of adopting
theoretical approach than practical. Many challenges are needed to be
addressed. It is the responsibility of the government as well as of civil
society to take strict practical measures to promote universal primary
education, particularly in the rural areas.
