Literacy Levels in Mohar Singh Wala

This falls substantially below the Kasur District average of 62.85 percent, showing a negative gap of 21.85 percentage points. Male literacy in Mohar Singh Wala stands at 51.3 percent, which is significantly lower than the district male average (67.97 percent) by 16.67 points.

Educational Credentials Analysis
- Primary but below Matric: 45 males and 28 females
- Matric but below Degree: 14 males and 4 females
- Degree and above: 3 males and 1 female
These numbers demonstrate limited educational participation across gender lines in this small community. The data shows 28 women completing primary education, 4 reaching matriculation, and 1 achieving degree-level qualifications. The transition from 28 at primary to 4 at matric shows severe attrition during the secondary school years, with only approximately 14 percent continuing beyond primary level.
The presence of 1 female degree holder represents modest achievement in Mohar Singh Wala. The gender ratio at degree level, with 1 female compared to 3 males, shows underrepresentation of women at the tertiary tier. However, the most critical concern is the catastrophic dropout rate between primary and matric for girls, with only 4 out of 28 primary completers advancing to matriculation. This represents one of the steepest educational cliffs observed in the region.
Population Structure
Out of the total population, there are 427 Muslims, while no individuals belong to other faiths. The literacy-eligible population aged 10 years and above is 307. The adult population aged 18 years and above is 245, while senior citizens aged 60 years and above number 49. This indicates a community with a robust working-age demographic and a healthy elderly segment.
