This work presents the results of SPEDG sponsored survey conducted on the relationship of education and fertility of women in two districts of Mardan and Sawabi, Pakistan. This survey, like all other surveys conducted in different parts of the world concluded a linear and inverse education-fertility relationship at the secondary and higher educational level of female but the relationship of primary education was of a zig-zag nature and there was no linear relationship of the fertility level of women with that of the primary education.
