Literacy Achievement in Qaziwala

This falls below the Kasur District average of 62.85 percent, showing a negative gap of 3.35 percentage points. Male literacy in Qaziwala stands at 66.3 percent, which is slightly lower than the district male average (67.97 percent) by 1.67 points.
Female literacy is 51.9 percent, trailing the district female average (57.44 percent) by 5.54 points.

Qualification Levels Distribution
- Primary but below Matric: 207 males and 165 females
- Matric but below Degree: 80 males and 43 females
- Degree and above: 14 males and 8 females
These numbers demonstrate moderate educational participation across gender lines in the community. The data shows 165 women completing primary education, 43 reaching matriculation, and 8 achieving degree-level qualifications. The transition from 165 at primary to 43 at matric shows significant attrition during the secondary school years, with approximately 26 percent continuing beyond primary level.
The presence of 8 female degree holders represents modest achievement in Qazi Wala. The gender ratio at degree level, with 8 females compared to 14 males, shows moderate representation at the tertiary tier, with female degree attainment reaching about 57 percent of male levels. This gap reflects the cumulative impact of dropout at earlier educational stages. The particularly concerning aspect is that fewer than three out of ten female primary completers advance to matriculation.
