Educational Attainment in Beso Ke
The literacy rate of this village stands at 33.1 percent for the population aged 10 years and above. This falls drastically below the Kasur District average of 62.85 percent, showing a negative gap of 29.75 percentage points. Male literacy in Beso Ke stands at 42.6 percent, which is significantly lower than the district male average (67.97 percent) by 25.37 points.
Female literacy is 22.3 percent, trailing the district female average (57.44 percent) by 35.14 points. The figures reveal alarmingly low educational performance that severely lags behind district benchmarks in both gender categories, with female literacy facing critically acute challenges. This pattern suggests that immediate and intensive educational interventions are urgently needed across the community, with emergency focus on girls’ education to help achieve even basic literacy standards and begin addressing the massive gender literacy gap.
Scholastic Achievement by Gender
- Primary but below Matric: 37 males and 20 females
- Matric but below Degree: 12 males and 2 females
- Degree and above: 3 males and 2 females
These numbers demonstrate severely limited educational participation across gender lines in this small community. The data shows only 20 women completing primary education, 2 reaching matriculation, and 2 achieving degree-level qualifications. The transition from 20 at primary to 2 at matric shows extreme attrition during the secondary school years, with only 10 percent continuing beyond primary level.
The presence of 2 female degree holders represents a remarkable achievement given the extremely challenging educational environment in Beso Kay. The gender ratio at degree level, with 2 females compared to 3 males, shows relatively balanced representation at the tertiary tier considering the small numbers. This near-parity at the highest level is particularly striking given the vast disparity in overall literacy rates and the extremely low female primary completion numbers.

This indicates a community with a robust working-age demographic and a healthy elderly segment.
