Education
In village the Punjab Government education system is followed. There is no co-education in the schools. For boys the school is up to primary level (grades one through eight), for girls the school is for up to both primary and middle level (grades one through eight). After successfully finishing study in the village, boys and girls go to Pindi Saidpur by bicycle for further education. Pindi Saidpur also has no co-education, so boys and girls attend separate schools to the high school level (grades up to ten), leading to the Secondary School Certificate. All schools run under the Rawalpindi Education Board. Islamic education is a requirement at all levels of education all over the Pakistan. Some children go to Mosque as well to learn and read the Al-Quran and receive other basic Islamic education. Recently the education system in the village was not up to this level, so people had to attend school and college in Jalalpur Sharief, Pind Dadan Khan and Jhelum. The village has produced doctors, engineers, army officers, teachers, and IT professionals who serve in Pakistan, UAE, KSA and Europe.

“In England, I was quite struck to see how forward the girls are made—a child of 10 years old, will chat and keep you company, while her parents are busy or out etc.—with the ease of a woman of 26. But then, how does this education go on?—Not at all: it absolutely stops short.”
—Frances Burney (1752–1840)
