The facts and the figures which were being revealed on the last International Literacy Day which was being commemorated in the entire world including Pakistan were astonishing. The day was being celebrated in the month of September every year and in the year 2012; the people of Pakistan got to know regarding the expenditure their government is making under the heading of education policy. The aim of the Pakistani government is to achieve the mountainous target by setting their aims to touch almost seven percent of the entire GDP till the year 2015. According to the economic survey the expenditure made on education was near to 2% of the entire GDP for the year of 2009-2010.
