Literacy Rate in Korray Sayal
The literacy rate of this village stands at 41.6 percent for the population aged 10 years and above. This falls significantly below the Kasur District average of 62.85 percent, showing a gap of 21.25 percentage points. Male literacy in Koray Sayal stands at 50.1 percent, which is substantially lower than the district male average (67.97 percent) by 17.87 points.
Female literacy is 32.4 percent, trailing the district female average (57.44 percent) by 25.04 points.

Academic Credentials Breakdown
- Primary but below Matric: 710 males and 500 females
- Matric but below Degree: 255 males and 75 females
- Degree and above: 43 males and 9 females
These numbers paint a challenging picture of educational participation in the community. The data shows 500 women completing primary education, 75 reaching matriculation, and just 9 achieving degree-level qualifications. The sharp decline from 500 at primary to only 75 at matric level signals severe retention challenges during the transition to secondary education.
The extremely low number of female degree holders, just 9 compared to 43 males, reflects substantial barriers preventing women from accessing higher education in Korray Sial. However, the fact that 9 women have persevered to earn degrees demonstrates resilience and shows that pathways, though difficult, do exist for determined individuals. Strengthening support systems, particularly during critical transition phases from primary to secondary school, could help more girls continue their education and ultimately improve female representation at tertiary levels.
