Religion and education
Education in Pakistan is heavily influenced by religion. For instance, a study of Pakistani science teachers showed that many rejected evolution based on religious grounds.[27]However, most Pakistani teachers (14 out of 18) either accepted or considered the possibility of the evolution of living organisms, although nearly all Pakistani science teachers rejected human evolution because they believed that ‘human beings did not evolve from monkeys.’ Although many teachers rejected the evolution of humans, "all agreed that there is ‘no contradiction between science and Islam’ in general".[27]
