Education and poverty are inversely related. The higher the level of education of the population, lesser will be the number of poor persons because education imparts knowledge and skills which is supportive in higher wages. The direct effect of education on poverty reduction is through increasing the earnings/income or wages. The indirect effect of education on poverty is important with respect to 'human poverty' because as education improves the income, the fulfillment of basic necessities becomes easier and raises the living standard which surely means the fall in human poverty.
The education indirectly helps in the fulfillment of basic needs like water and sanitation, utilization of health facilities, shelter, and it also affects the women's behavior in fertility decisions and family planning. Jeffery, R. and Basu, M.A. (1996).
Lack of education is a key factor of income poverty and absence of sufficient income/earnings can't overcome the education poverty [5]. Moreover, education helps in the fulfillment of basic needs (eradicating poverty) and basic needs themselves include the education availability, hence provision of education and fulfillment of basic needs both reinforce each other.
In the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and the Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (PRSP) human capital is considered as a weapon against poverty reduction. Therefore the idea that education is a determinant of poverty occupies much attention in recent years. Pakistan has owned the Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (PRSP) in which there is an enormous emphasis on human capital for curbing poverty because it is realized that without human capital formulation the goal of development or poverty alleviation is inevitable in developing country (Mughal, 2007)
