Lahore ranks nationally at number 1 in terms of readiness score, with a score of 93.51. According to PEC assessments, Lahore ranks last out of all districts of Punjab in both class 5 and class 8.

Issues mainly reported in TaleemDo! app[11] from Lahore are that students want to study in private schools, as they are better than government schools but can’t afford the fee. A communication gap between the teachers and the students was also reported and a few reported some facilities problems in their school.
