List of tehsils of Balochistan, Pakistan by literacy rate

Literacy rates across the tehsils of Balochistan, Pakistan, varies significantly, largely influenced by differences in educational infrastructure and access. Some urban areas, such as Quetta and Gwadar, have higher literacy rates, exceeding 60%, due to the availability of educational facilities and broader public awareness. In contrast, rural and remote tehsils, including Kashatu Tehsil and Aranji Tehsil, typically have lower literacy rates, in some cases below 30%. Gender disparities are pronounced across the entire province, with female literacy rates significantly lower than those of males. While government and non-governmental efforts to improve educational outcomes are ongoing, further targeted interventions are required to address regional and gender-based inequalities in literacy.
