Literacy Rate in Jhok Vains Parli

Male literacy is 63.0 percent, slightly trailing the district male average of 67.28 percent by -4.28 points. Female literacy, however, is only 36.9 percent, which is 18.37 points below the district female average of 55.27 percent. This highlights a pronounced gender disparity in education.

Primary but below Matric: 1,147 males and 723 females
Matric but below Degree: 626 males and 255 females

Out of the total population, 10,005 residents are Muslims, while 19 belong to other faiths. The literacy-eligible population (aged 10 years and above) is 7,300. The adult population aged 18 years and above totals 5,400, while senior citizens aged 60 years and above number 644. This reflects a strong working-age population, along with a significant elderly group.
Jhok Vains Warli, with its large population and substantial land area, is a key rural settlement of Multan Saddar. While its literacy levels remain below district averages, the relatively stronger performance of men and the presence of degree holders suggest potential for gradual improvement if educational opportunities are expanded for women.
