Minister for Federal Education and Professional Training: Budgetary allocation for education sector by governments in last three year is as follows: Expenditure on edcation in South and West Asian countries is given below: 2 Source: EFA Global Monitoring Report 2015, UNESCO The primary reason for allocating less percentage of GDP toward education owes to the less fiscal space available. Pakistan’s tax to GDP ratio was hardly around 8.1% in 2013. However, Pakistan’s good performance in Finance & tax collection raised the tax to GDP ratio to around 12.2% and so is the case with our public expenditure which has gone up from around Rs. 520 billion in 2012-13 to 768 billions in 2015-16. Similarly, in terms of percentage of GDP it is going up from around 1.97% in 2012-13 towards 2.5% in 2016. 3 143. *Ms. Naseema Hafeez Panezai: (Deferred during 35th Session) Will the Minister In-charge of the Cabinet Division be pleased to refer to the Starred Question No.
