摘要：Drop out may be considered as a subsidiary problem or cause of low enrolment. Pakistan has been facing scores of educational problems from the day of independence. This article addresses the impact of educational devolution on students' enrolment among different district (from developed districts with high literacy rate to under developed districts with low literacy rate) and their rural and urban areas at primary level in Punjab. Four Districts were randomly selected, which covers the high, low medium and medium high literacy rate and also examine the enrolment from urban and rural areas of the similar selected districts of the Punjab. Data regarding enrolment were collected from Program Monitoring and Implementation Unit (PMIU). Devolution has drastically influenced the enrolment rates at primary level,mostly the rural areas from the developed districts and low literacy rate districts of the Punjab. Thus the finding supports the statement that the devolution has positive impact on the participation rate of students and similarly it also increased literacy rate of poor as well as rich districts of the Punjab at primary level. This may lead Pakistan towards the accomplishment of universalization of the primary education an important agenda of the Millennium Developmental Goals (MDG).
