Pakistan may see a modest improvement in its 2026 Global Gender Gap Index score.
Projections based on updated data suggest that Pakistan’s score could increase from 𝟬.𝟱𝟲𝟳 𝘁𝗼 𝟬.𝟱𝟵𝟴 𝗶𝗻 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 - an estimated 5.5% improvement.
The projected improvement is driven by progress across three key dimensions:
📈 Economic participation and opportunity
🏛️ Political empowerment
🎓 Educational attainment
The gain may be nominal, but reflection in international benchmarks matters. Recognition of progress could help drive momentum, sharpen policy focus, and keep gender equality firmly on the development agenda.
The @wef Global Gender Gap Report, 2026, is expected to be released this month and will show whether these projected gains are realised, and if they result in improved rankings.

Can tech help student retention? Can AI help improve education systems? And can these solutions overcome behavioral frictions? 📚🏫
Let’s explore this together at #Glocal Evaluation Week, a global knowledge-sharing event organised by the Global Evaluation Initiative to advance #MonitoringAndEvaluation practice worldwide.
As part of #Glocal2026, Tabadlab is hosting the event “Keeping Students in School: Behavioral and Tech Solutions from Pakistan.”
In this online session, the panel will discuss findings from the Middle School Transition Study, supported by Data and Research in Education (DARE), and explore how behavioural science, technology, and AI can support education systems and improve post-primary school enrolment in Pakistan.

A new @Tabadlab report reveals nearly 25% of girls’ primary schools in #Pakistan operate with just one teacher. With a shortfall of 115,000 teachers, overcrowding & poor facilities, the girls’ education crisis is deepening. #GirlsEducation #EducationCrisis #TeacherShortage #SDG4

A missing Ustani (female teacher) means missing opportunity, lost promise, and wasted potential.
Today’s discussion on recruitment, retention, reward and respect hit hard.
Well done @tabadlab and @PIEPakistangov. @MalalaFund Pakistan is humbled to be part of this piece.
Now policymakers must turn this evidence into real action.

Pakistan faces a critical shortage of female teachers in schools ,a barrier that continues to keep millions of girls out of the classroom.
Glad that @MalalaFund is partnering on this important report alongside @tabadlab and @PIEPakistangov, launching this week.
Let’s place evidence and urgency at the centre of the conversation.
Girls deserve classrooms led by confident, qualified, inspiring women.
Over 100,000 teaching posts in 🇵🇰’s public schools remain vacant — leaving millions of girls without the teachers they need to learn and thrive. 🧑🏫
Tabadlab has signed an LoU with the @PIEPakistangov to analyse where — and why these shortages persist, and inform better policy.
tabadlab retweeted
Pakistan’s future depends on the investments its leaders make in girls’ education today. That starts with hiring more qualified teachers, so every girl has access to quality learning for a full 12 years.
I am proud to stand with advocates and experts in Pakistan like @tabadlab working hard to bring forward new ideas and solutions.
In Pakistan, more than 100,000 teaching positions are vacant — deepening the crisis keeping 6 million secondary school girls out of the classroom.
Tabadlab is working to change that through direct advocacy to policymakers and campaigns that support the retention of qualified teachers and call for large-scale systemic change. More on their work at mala.la/4e8DSy4

Mosharraf Zaidi, Founder, @tabadlab: There is trust deficit. Rights of people are hard to get which in turn creates fiction. However, the burden placed on the judiciary & level of dependence on it, is far greater than necessary. Watch: bit.ly/4ikk0Zp

Only 10% of Pakistan's 25,000 annual IT graduates secure employment, of whom even fewer are women. 👩💼
@Hibafatima08 highlights the crucial need to invest in women's #skills to narrow the #digital gender gap and improve female labour force participation in Pakistan.

Pakistan ranks 145th out of 146 in the 2024 WEF Global Gender Gap Index. How can 🇵🇰 move up?
On July 5th, Tabadlab hosted a consultative workshop to discuss strategies to close the gender gap and elevate Pakistan’s global ranking.
