30% of our country’s total population is leading life below the poverty-line.

Our people are not aware of the importance of education.

The government has not put its laws into practice to stop child Labour in our country that’s why child labour is increasing day by day.

Education:

The government gave free

books and scholarships to

schools, so parents with

limited budgets are now able

Government efforts to stop child labour

• Article 11(3):

No child below the age of 14 years shall be engaged in any factory or mine or any other employment.• Article 25(A):

The state shall provide free and compulsory education to all children of the age of five to sixteen years in such manner as determined by law.

The children are working as a labour, in school going age for the survival of therefamilies and to full fill the basicnecessities.

People don’t know the importance of education. That’s why most of children remain illiterate.

Holy prophet (PBUH) also says that“get knowledge and distribute amongothers.”

Awareness must be raised and parents should pay attention to the education of their children.

Child Labour Laws should be strictly put into practice
