14. Analysis
• If you will go through the Education policy of Pakistan from 1998 to 2010 you would have to know
that the policy is just consist on 10 to 15 points. And whole theme of policy move around these
points.
• So in the very first Aim and objective point we may find there that "Education andTraining should
enable the citizens of Pakistan to lead their lives according to the teaching of Islam as laid down in
the Quran and Sunnah and to Educate, to train them as a true plasticizing Muslims.
• And again the policy proved that it has been unsuccessful what the reasons are? And what is the
logic behind it?
• As clearly the clash between the religious and modern school and institutions students is going on,
and the battle among the modern and religious is being fought due to un-unified, non-logic, non-
centralized policy gap and gulf between these both educational systems is clear to everybody,

15. • Now we turn ourselves to the 2nd point where our policy makers shown there dream to
achieve the 70% literacy rate from 39%, and it clearly seems us impossible, even though
the project such as in province Punjab like "parha likha Punjab didn't worked.
• Policy makers in their 3rd stage relate it to the elementary education, and here they
explained that they till the 2002-3, 90% of the age of 5-9 years will be enrolled in
elementary education they will also revise the curriculum and stress will be given to
teachers training, and improvement in the management and supervision system will be
made, and same formula will be apply to the existing examination and assessment
system

16. • After the elementary stage we have now the secondary education, the unique stuff
in the secondary stage is that, it insisted that there shall be one model school that
will be setup in the district level and the participation level rate will be increased
from 31 % to 48% by 2002-03. Multiple text books will be introduced at secondary
school level.

structure or the library and documentation structure.

17. • They are claimed to be completely successful phases for the policy makers and
government all because of "Dr Ata-ul-Rehman".

used PCs were imported in country at very low price.Few year of the policy announcement
