Abstract
Education plays a decisive role in the economic development as
well as social development of a country. Every state is well
aware about the fruit of education and makes an effort to
enhance its further. Achievement of Education for All (EFA) is
also one of the Millennium Development Goal; therefore, the
present article aims to explore the teacher training education in
the context of Indonesia, Malaysia and Pakistan. The data
reveals that literacy rate of Indonesia is 90 %, which is the
highest among three countries, while in case of Malaysia it is
estimated 89 % and in case of Pakistan it is still 54.9 %.
However, public sector spending on education in case of
Malaysia recorded 5.9 % of the GDP during 2011, and it is 3.6
% of GDP in case of Indonesia during 2012, while in case of
Pakistan very low that recoded 2.1 % of GDP during 2012.
Pupil-teacher ratios in both primary and secondary school are
low in case of Indonesia with 12.7 % and 13.7 % pupil per
teacher, followed by Malaysia and Pakistan. Overall education
indicators of Pakistan are meager and it indicates that the
government of Pakistan needs to give proper attention on
education sector where teacher training program should not be
ignored.
