Education Affairs and Services
One of the most significant social sectors, Education captures the interest of all policy makers and practitioners alike. Improvement in Human
Capital and the quality of employable labour has a direct causal relationship with investments in Education sector. Government Expenditure in
Education sector has clearly shown positive impact on economic growth after some time lag although it may show negative impact on growth
in the short run. Increased and effective Government spending on Education sector improves social cohesion, indirectly affects Health sector
through consequentially improved nutrition, preventive care and sanitation and the educated population has more informed participation in
public decision making. Since Primary and Secondary education is a legislative subject devolved to Local Governments after promulgation of
Punjab Local Government Act, 2019, an amount of PKR215 billion has been allocated for District Education Authorities. In addition to this, an
allocation of PKR 71.802 billion is proposed for Education sector at the Provincial level.
Table below shows breakup of different services under this functional classification and allocations against each for financial year 2020-21
along with Revised Estimates for FY 2019-20.
