Education and Literacy Statistics
The literacy rate of Feroz Pur is 42.0 percent for the population aged 10 years and above. This is considerably below the Multan District average of 61.41 percent, reflecting a negative gap of -19.41 percentage points. Male literacy stands at 51.3 percent, notably below the district male average (67.28 percent) by -15.98 points. Female literacy is 32.5 percent, which is significantly lower than the district female average (55.27 percent) by -22.77 points. These figures indicate very significant challenges in educational access and development across both genders, highlighting the critical need for comprehensive educational interventions to strengthen literacy outcomes and substantially bridge the wide gap with district standards.
Academic Achievement Levels
- Primary but below Matric: 1,096 males and 750 females
- Matric but below Degree: 583 males and 304 females
- Degree and above: 137 males and 77 females
These numbers show a marked decline in participation at higher educational levels, particularly among females. While 750 women have completed primary education, only 304 continue through to matriculation, and 77 achieve degree-level qualifications. The significant drop-off at each educational stage suggests considerable challenges in retention and access to higher education. Despite these obstacles, the presence of 77 women with degrees demonstrates that pathways to higher education exist within the community, though substantial efforts to expand access and encourage educational continuation would help strengthen overall academic achievement and narrow the gender gap.
