| 2002-06-14 |
| The economic survey 2001-02, released on Thursday, has estimated the literacy rate at 50.5 per cent, registering an increase of over one per cent from the last year's figure of 49 per cent. The survey, which was released by Finance Minister Shaukat Aziz, said that the literacy rate among men was 63 per cent and among women it was 38 per cent, while rural and urban literacy rates were 30 per cent and 70 per cent respectively. That must really bother them. It represents a diminishing pool of available jihadi cannon fodder. |
