The document summarizes education policies in Pakistan from 1947 to 1992. It discusses 6 major policies: the First Educational Conference in 1947 which emphasized Islamic values and compulsory primary education; the National Commission on Education in 1959 which aimed to promote character building and universal primary education; the National Education Policy of 1970 focusing on ideological orientation and science/technology; the 1972 policy promoting the ideology of Pakistan and universal education; the 1979 policy developing the concept of the Muslim Ummah and fostering loyalty to Islam; and the 1992 policy promoting Islamic values and improved women's education. The document notes that while the policies aimed to better education, they often failed due to problems with implementation and lack of resources.

10. Our all Policies had been failed due to lack of
proper management, corruption, resources.
If we want to improve our system of Education, We
need to motivate our kids first. We have to make
sure that we are offering the right path in right
way.
The Policies were not wrong, but the Management was
at fault. So, Motivate and Inspire the Man Power
first then think about the system
Its all about the Policies of Education in Pakistan.
