Political Commitment
 The problem related to politics and politicians sits at the root of the
problems of implementation in Pakistan..
 Sri Lankan reform experience suggests that successful implementation
crucially depends on the consistent support of top political and
bureaucratic leadership.
 Pakistan there have been many instances where governments have failed to
provide the political support needed for implementing and sustaining
policy initiatives.
 Each new government has discontinued most programs of its predecessors
soon after assuming power, for example, a literacy project titled Nai
Roshni (new light) was launched in 1987 and was discontinued in 1989
with the change of government Other mass literacy programs have also
failed due to low political commitment both at federal and local levels.

 Comparatively, the education budget of
Pakistan in terms of Gross Domestic Product
(GDP) is less than the regional countries.
 The current education budget of Pakistanis
just 2.5 % of GDP whilst Nepal 2.7%, Srilanka
3.2%, India 3.5% and Bangladesh is 3.5%. The
low education budget shows the negligence of
education. Remember, 95 per cent of
education budget is incurred on salaries and
maintenance.

Commitment Gap
 The Planning Commission's Vision 2030 document says that "We
cannot spend only 2.7 per cent of GDP on education and expect to
become a vibrant knowledge economy."
 The result has been a low literacy rate and a poorly educated service
and tertiary sector that have made Pakistan lag behind India in its bid
for markets abroad and at home.
 The elitist education managed to produce top doctors, engineers, pilots,
Chartered Accountants, initial bureaucrats and military personnel but
failed to provide an exemplary secondary support group of nurses,
technicians, cabin staff, district officers who were mostly educated in
the public schools.
