The major causes of declining enrollment in schools were lack of staff, lack of facilities, lack of science teachers, schools are far from populated areas, lack of awareness among parents and less implementation of educational policies to its optimum level. The government of the Punjab should provide proper facilities at school level to overcome the issue of declining enrollment.
