1. Introduction

FATA has the lowest education indicators. The literacy rate for women is as low as 7%. The

three decades of fighting in neighboring Afghanistan and the ongoing conflict in FATA present a

sorry state of affairs for education in FATA. According to government reported figures, over 550

schools have been either partially or fully damaged in FATA. Schools are still blown up which

scare away children from resuming their education.

An official data shows that the militants had destroyed over 758 schools in different districts of

the KPK province, including 640 schools in Malakand Division from 2009 to 2011. Among these

schools, 166 were destroyed and 477 were partially damaged in the areas in the wake of military

operation. Before the military operation, militants had also occupied schools and turned the

buildings into hideouts. In addition to that, 40 schools in Peshawar, Hangu, Bannu, Laki Marwat,

Nowsehra, Kohat and other areas of the province (KPK) were completely destroyed by the

militants and 83 were partially damaged. Education for All Global Monitoring Report 2012

states that Pakistan has a total of 5.1 million children out of school, making it the nation with

second highest out-of-school children in the world. Being sixth largest populated country,

Pakistan is facing the education crises. In 2011, 250 children died in armed conflicts in different

parts of the country. Majority were killed in FATA and KPK. Apart from the life threats, the

harmful psychological impacts of prolonged conflicts affected thousands of students in the war-

torn region. Poor security situation in FATA and KPK presents a sorrowful picture of the

students’ future.

Militants’ hatred towards the modern education is one of the reasons behind militant campaign

against the educational institutions in the FATA region. The education crises is the result of over

a decade long militancy, which began when US led forces toppled the Taliban government in

Kabul, forcing militants to flee Afghanistan. The very first school was destroyed in South

Waziristan Agency. The campaign of pulverizing the schools across the region is still in progress

unabated. When Pakistani military was deployed in FATA, it had no infrastructure available to

station its troops. Specific areas were declared as war zones and troops were stationed in

available government buildings including educational institutions. Militants use this as an

argument to justify their attacks against schools.

The government has not allocated enough funds to reconstruct the destroyed schools. Pakistan

Army also rehabilitated some of the schools but majority of the schools still lack adequate

attention from the concerned quarters. Unfortunately, there are cases when the authorities rebuilt

a school, the militants destroyed it again, and underscoring the fact, the educational institutions

have no security. In FATA only 17 percent of the destroyed schools have been rebuilt as enough

funds were not available from international donors and annual development program. Ten

thousand additional paramilitary troops are also deployed to protect the schools from militant

attacks. However, these steps proved insufficient to protect the schools.

In Orakzai Agency, the operation against the militants forced families to leave their homes and

take refuge in IDP camps or with host families. The families started to come back to their homes

after the government announced lower parts of Orakzai as being cleared. The situation, however,

is still tense. The military operation against the militants intermittently continues in parts of

Orakzai. The over-all situation in the agency is tense. There are sporadic incidents of sectarian

violence also. The restoration of Education services is one of the priority interventions in areas of

return.

Thousands of the students have been deprived off from their basic right of education. These

uneducated students are potential recruits of militancy. Extremism in the society cannot be

transformed into moderate views until mass scale education facilities and access to these

facilities are not provided.

2. Background of the Area

Orakzai Agency takes its name from Orakzai Tribes inhabiting in the area, established as Agency

on 1st December, 1973.This is the second smallest in area after Bajaur Agency. It is bounded by

Kurram Agency in the West, Khyber in the North, District Kohat on the South and Peshawar in

the East. The whole of the territory of Orakzai Agency is a mountainous tract dissected by

numerous dry water courses. The two major streams are the Mastura and KhankiToi both of

which originate in the hills to the West and run to the East. There are two tribes Orakzai and

Doulatzai tribes in Orakzai Agency. The Agency has two main Islamic sects Sunni and Shia.

Lower Tehsil is mixture of both sects.

3. Purpose

WCO with the support of Unicef started “welcome to school initiative” that would result in

100% enrollment (before and after the operation) and would also achieve a 30% increase

additionally during the proposed project period. Moreover, a structured focus on capacity

building of school teachers and TIJs members would facilitate in creating a conducive

environment for imparting quality education to these children.

Education brings wide-ranging benefits to both individuals and societies. It is considered so

important to individual development that the right to primary education is legally guaranteed in

most countries of the world.

In the context of international goals and commitments, the number of out-of-school children is

one of the most frequently cited education statistics. It is therefore crucial that, not only to

identify the number of out of school children but also to find the reasons for it.

The study planned to:

• Establish the level of coverage of school-age children with education;

• Provide information on out-of-school children;

• Determine the numbers and ages of children dropping out of school;

• Classify out-of-school children by time and duration of school non-attendance (never

attended school, dropped out) and by basic characteristics;

• Establish the percentage of children in and out of school by basic characteristics;

• Study the reasons for Out of School

The complexity of measuring the number of out-of-school children and contradictions and

incomplete information on the issue, necessitated the use of various ways of measuring

nonattendance. In relation to the problem of the school damages due to conflict, a special section

of the study was dedicated to school information. The findings are presented in a separate report.

The sample survey of children was conducted in 40 villages of Lower Orakzai during October

2012, the study was carried out by the Program Section; its staff specializes in education-related

and childhood development studies and has experience of working on same assignments.

4. METHODOLOGY

Methodology means a set of methods and principles used to perform a particular activity. Survey

methodology therefore refers to concept, which is applicable and sound to fulfill anticipation of

the survey. The methodology for present study comprises of universe of the study, sampling and

sample size, methods of data collection and its analysis.

The multifaceted problem of out-of-school children must be reviewed from all dimensions

covering truants and children who are not covered by the school system (dropouts and working

children); that is why assessing the number of out-of-school children required the use of various

methods therefore three questionnaires were developed for this study:

i. Data Collection

a. Primary Data

The required data was collected with the help of an interview schedule, questionnaire, focus

group discussions and personal observations. The interview schedule was design, keeping in

view the objectives of the study. The interview schedule was pilot-tested in the proposed area.

After the necessary changes, it was finalized and used for data collection.

b. Secondary Data

Secondary data was also collected from Education Department, Political Agent office, journals

and newspapers.

c. Method of Data Collection

• Questionnaire – FGD with parents and teachers

• Questionnaire – School Head

• Questionnaire – Key informants. (Quantitative)

ii. Universe of the Study

The study covered the following target groups of children

• Those who had attended but later dropped out of school;

• Those who did not attended a school at all;

Page 9: WCO Baseline Survey

iii. Sample Size

For the present Base Line study 40 schools were selected and hence sample was selected from

the population dwelling near 4o schools. 65% of the total schools were of female and the rest

were of male. To complete this study proportionality rule were applied and 65% of the total

sample selected were female’s and 35% of sample were male. Total sample size of 300 was

taken to ensure the statistical accuracy of the data. The report covers children of age five, six and

above eight years of age group. Furthermore to test the reliability and accuracy of data; and get

the qualitative data 10 Focus Group Discussions were conducted in different part of Lower

Orakzai Agency.

iv. Data processing

The data was code and analyze by using Microsoft Excel and, statistical package for social

sciences (SPSS). The coding involved structuring the responses from the questionnaire and

assigning them nominal values for analytical purposes. The excel software was used to enter data

from the two forms filled out by key informants and school head and for answers to several

questions (reasons for out of school).

v. Data analysis

Data was analyzed by programme section. Statistical analysis included descriptive statistics –

checking data and summarizing it, measuring characteristics of location and dispersal, checking

variables for normal distribution, frequencies and cross tabulation. The confidence interval did

not exceed ±5% of 95% confidence level.
