The literacy rate in the tehsils of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) shows notable variation across regions. Urban tehsils such as Peshawar and Abbottabad report higher literacy rates, averaging above 70%, due to better educational infrastructure and access to schools. In contrast, rural and tribal tehsils like Wazir, Ladha, and Upper Mohmand have significantly lower literacy rates, often below 40%, with a wider gender gap in education. Female literacy remains a challenge in many areas, with rates dropping as low as 15âÂÂ20% in some remote tehsils. The provincial average literacy rate stands at around 55%, reflecting both progress and persistent disparities.
