YouTube video of the day: Killer facts about education

A new video has been released as part of the March for Education campaign, highlighting pitiful state of education.

In an ongoing bid to raise awareness about the plight of education in Pakistan, a new teaser video has been released as part of the March for Education campaign.

The video provides a minimalist, yet gripping assault of facts and figures to highlight where Pakistan stands in terms of education. To cite just one chilling fact:

26 countries are poorer than Pakistan, but send more of their children to school.

The Pakistan Education Task Force, a body set up in 2009 by the federal government to offer recommendations on how to implement education policies, in a recent report has stated that the education for all target stated in the Constitution of Pakistan will not be achieved during the lifetime of anyone alive today.

Video rating: Two thumbs up for trying to raise awareness on a critical issue.
