Educational Achievement in Dia Singh Wala
The literacy rate of this village stands at 43.1 percent for the population aged 10 years and above. This falls substantially below the Kasur District average of 62.85 percent, showing a negative gap of 19.75 percentage points. Male literacy in Dia Singh Wala stands at 48.1 percent, which is significantly lower than the district male average (67.97 percent) by 19.87 points.
Female literacy is 37.9 percent, trailing the district female average (57.44 percent) by 19.54 points. The figures reveal critically low educational performance that severely lags behind district benchmarks in both gender categories. This pattern suggests that urgent and comprehensive educational interventions are needed across the community, with intensive focus on both male and female education to help achieve even basic parity with regional standards and begin addressing the profound educational deficit.
Educational Completion Breakdown
- Primary but below Matric: 220 males and 176 females
- Matric but below Degree: 47 males and 25 females
- Degree and above: 6 males and 6 females
These numbers demonstrate limited educational participation across gender lines in the community. The data shows 176 women completing primary education, 25 reaching matriculation, and 6 achieving degree-level qualifications. The transition from 176 at primary to 25 at matric shows severe attrition during the secondary school years, with only approximately 14 percent continuing beyond primary level.
The presence of 6 female degree holders represents modest achievement given the challenging educational environment in Diya Singh Wala. The gender ratio at degree level, with 6 females compared to 6 males, shows perfect parity at the tertiary tier. This equal representation at the highest educational level is particularly remarkable given the low overall literacy rates affecting both genders.
