Educational Attainment in Dhuddian
The literacy rate of this village stands at 41.8 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 21.05 percentage points. Male literacy in Dhuddian stands at 46.0 percent, which is significantly lower than the district male average (67.97 percent) by 21.97 points.
Female literacy is 37.4 percent, trailing the district female average (57.44 percent) by 20.04 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.
Qualification Structure by Gender
- Primary but below Matric: 109 males and 95 females
- Matric but below Degree: 29 males and 20 females
- Degree and above: 11 males and 5 females
These numbers demonstrate limited educational participation across gender lines in the community. The data shows 95 women completing primary education, 20 reaching matriculation, and 5 achieving degree-level qualifications. The transition from 95 at primary to 20 at matric shows severe attrition during the secondary school years, with only approximately 21 percent continuing beyond primary level.
The presence of 5 female degree holders represents modest achievement given the challenging educational environment in this village. The gender ratio at degree level, with 5 females compared to 11 males, shows underrepresentation of women at the tertiary tier, with female degree attainment reaching about 45 percent of male levels. The particularly concerning aspect is the extremely low overall literacy rate affecting both genders, suggesting systemic barriers to education throughout the village.
Population Composition of Dhuddian
Out of the total population, there are 1,168 Muslims, while 2 individuals belong to other faiths. The literacy-eligible population aged 10 years and above is 803. The adult population aged 18 years and above is 580, while senior citizens aged 60 years and above number 73. This indicates a community with a robust working-age demographic and a healthy elderly segment.
