Why Pakistan is not progressing towards advancements?

Why Pakistan is not progressing towards advancements? Its because Pakistan is suffering from large number of internal and external problems, [subcategorized as social, political and economic problems]. Internal problems are: Poor Education, Poverty and problems in government [Dictatorship]. External Implication [international concern] is the Excessive Growth. All the problems are connected with each other and their only solution is Education.

The greater loss which Pakistan is facing is in the area of Education. On examination of Pakistan's overall literacy rate we come to know that only 37.8% are literate (50% for men and 24.4% for women), that means 61.2% are illiterate (50% male and 75.6% females). There are two causes of continuously decreasing literacy rate, (1) high population growth (2) No progress in the area of Education. Women are poorly educated about family planning and this has become the main reason for increased population and decreased literacy rate. Poorly educated population makes Pakistan a poor choice for the foreign investors that it so desperately needs.
Today, Pakistan is the 7th highest populated country in the world with the growth rate of 2.17, and it is predicated that by 2050 it will jump to the 3rd position. We can control the Excessive growth by education, awareness and by introducing some new laws, rules and regulations, like in china, where every couple is allowed to have only one baby.

Thus education is the only solution to the problems of Pakistan and to spread awareness, is the responsibility of every educated citizen.
