Rationales behind the policy failure in education sector of pakistan a case ...Alexander Decker
This document discusses rationales behind policy failure in Pakistan's education sector. It analyzes various national education policies from 1947 to present. Major rationales for weak policies include: lack of government ownership and planning; insufficient resources and infrastructure; weak administrative structures and accountability; and social exclusion of stakeholders. Educational targets are not achieved due to these constraints. Strengthening coordination, monitoring, stakeholder participation, and managing resources/timelines are identified as key policy implications to improve literacy rates in Pakistan.
The document discusses the education system in Pakistan and its many problems. It outlines 20 problems with the current system including a lack of technical education, low funding allocation, inefficient teachers, poverty, corruption, and political interference. Solutions proposed include making English the primary language of instruction, increasing teacher incentives, providing more scholarships, and improving education policies. The system is described as being in a poor state overall and facing significant challenges in achieving educational goals.

Implementation of School Culture-Based Character Education Strengthening Prog...Paulus Robert Tuerah
This study aims to analyze the implementation of the school culture-based Character Education Strengthening (PPK) program at SMP Negeri 10 Satap Tondano. This research uses a qualitative approach. Data collection in this study was carried out using in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation studies. The results of this study show that the implementation of the school culture-based Character Education Strengthening Program (PPK) at SMP Negeri 10 Satap Tondano has not been implemented optimally due to: 1) the availability of inadequate school facilities and infrastructure to support extracurricular and co-curricular activities which are mandatory components in the implementation of school culture-based KDP, 2) parental support for the child's education process that is still lacking, and 3) inadequate school financing in financing the implementation of activities and the procurement of school facilities and infrastructure. For this reason, we should: 1) schools need to coordinate with all stakeholders in the field of education, 2) the government needs to provide sufficient funds to support the implementation of school-based KDP, 3) need maximum support from parents in the form of attention and supervision of children's associations
The document discusses issues with Pakistan's current education system that prevent learning. It outlines three main problems: 1) Three parallel systems (public, private, madrassas) create disparities in quality and access. 2) Madrassas discourage critical thinking and outdated teaching methods prevent employment. 3) Curriculums across systems are outdated, lacking revision and promote intolerance rather than skills for the modern world. Overall, the document argues Pakistan's education needs reform to address funding, access, teaching quality, and curriculum issues across its divided public and private systems.
This document discusses education and its issues in Pakistan. It identifies several problems with Pakistan's education system including unequal access based on public or private schools, a lack of technical education, gender discrimination, untrained teachers, insufficient resources, and poverty restricting access. Some statistics are presented on Pakistan's low literacy and education rates compared to other countries. The document concludes by outlining potential solutions such as improved implementation of policies, workshops for teachers, increasing technical education, and consulting education experts when developing plans and policies.
History of Primary and Secondary Education Five Year Plans in Pakistan: A Rev...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT : The quality education is an indispensable and inevitable agent for change aseducation is a
process of civilization and development. The issue of deterioration of qualityin education in Pakistan, especially
decline in quality of secondary education was the sloganof the day. The major purpose of the research is to
compare and analyze the quality of education throughout history by understanding the Five-Year Plans initiated
by the Government of Pakistan inpublic and private schools of Punjab. It was discovered that while the plans were
detailed in theory, in terms of practical application much was left to be desired. It was understood that while
students attended the schools at both primary and secondary levels, they were not given the quality of education
promised. As a result the quality of education in primary and secondary schools in Punjab suffered greatly. It is
recommended that the next Five Year Plan initiated by the Government of Pakistan be implemented in letter and
spirit so that the students of primary and secondary schools in Punjab could benefit greatly from it.

Education is the process of learning and gaining knowledge, skills, and values. It begins informally at home but is formalized in school where children learn behaviors and understand their surroundings. Education gives people the ability to understand the world logically, make practical decisions, and transform society. However, Pakistan faces many educational issues including low literacy rates, lack of funding and technical education, untrained teachers, gender discrimination, and poverty barriers to education access. Potential solutions include increasing education funding, improving teacher training, promoting primary education, incorporating more technical education, and implementing free and improved education programs.
The document discusses the education system in Pakistan and identifies several key problems:
1) The education system does not align with local needs and realities, using different mediums across public and private schools.
2) There is disparity between provinces in infrastructure, resources, and education quality. Literacy rates are especially low for women.
3) Poverty prevents many children from attending school, and dropout rates are high. Madrassas provide free religious education instead.
4) Corruption wastes education funds, and accountability is lacking. Ghost schools exist only on paper.
The document summarizes the evolution of the Indian education system from ancient to modern times. It discusses the ancient Gurukul system where students lived with their teacher and learned diverse topics. It then describes how the British introduced the modern school system focused on science and math taught within classrooms. Several education commissions and policies post-independence aimed to reform and expand the system. While literacy rates have increased, challenges remain such as an overemphasis on exams, lack of practical skills, high costs, and inadequate infrastructure and teachers especially in rural areas. Improvements are still needed including investing more in education, reducing commercialization, and changing attitudes around grades.
State of Education in Pakistan and Recommendationswaleedmoon2
The document provides an overview of Pakistan's education system, including its structure, types of education offered, top universities, literacy rates by major city, and roles of the government, Higher Education Commission, and NGOs in promoting education. It also discusses problems facing the system such as unequal access, poverty, gender gaps, lack of quality teachers, and low funding. Recommendations are made to improve uniformity, access, teacher quality, and financial support for education across Pakistan.
The document discusses teaching Pakistan studies and outlines several key points:
- Pakistan studies aims to enhance students' knowledge of Pakistan's history, culture, and geography to foster patriotism.
- However, the subject is often taught boringly using old lecture methods rather than engaging discussion, and students lack interest.
- An effective Pakistan studies curriculum is important and should avoid bias while including current issues, human rights topics, and encouraging an open mindset rather than narrow thinking. It should also reference sources for further learning.
This document provides an introduction to a research proposal that will examine whether holistic education is a myth in Malaysia's tertiary education system. It defines holistic education as an integrated curriculum approach that is both practical and focuses on inner student development. The study aims to identify how holistic education is characterized, how it is addressed in Malaysia's Higher Education Blueprint, and its role in developing student quality and achievement. However, the study has limitations due to its small sample size of only 300 undergraduates from universities in one Malaysian city.

The model of educational character was (1) religious; (2) moderate; (3) smart; and (4) independent. The Strategy which was done to keep the output was forming the school’s culture such behavior, tradition, daily life, and symbols which were applied by all members of school and society around school.
Education is the process of learning and gaining knowledge, skills, and values. It begins informally at home but is formalized in school where children learn behaviors and understand their surroundings. Education gives people the ability to understand the world logically, make practical decisions, and transform society. However, Pakistan faces many educational issues including low literacy rates, lack of funding and technical education, untrained teachers, gender discrimination, and poverty barriers to education access. Potential solutions include increasing education funding, improving teacher training, promoting primary education, incorporating more technical education, and implementing free and improved education programs.
The document discusses the education system in Pakistan and identifies several key problems:
1) The education system does not align with local needs and realities, using different mediums across public and private schools.
2) There is disparity between provinces in infrastructure, resources, and education quality. Literacy rates are especially low for women.
3) Poverty prevents many children from attending school, and dropout rates are high. Madrassas provide free religious education instead.
4) Corruption wastes education funds, and accountability is lacking. Ghost schools exist only on paper.
The document summarizes the evolution of the Indian education system from ancient to modern times. It discusses the ancient Gurukul system where students lived with their teacher and learned diverse topics. It then describes how the British introduced the modern school system focused on science and math taught within classrooms. Several education commissions and policies post-independence aimed to reform and expand the system. While literacy rates have increased, challenges remain such as an overemphasis on exams, lack of practical skills, high costs, and inadequate infrastructure and teachers especially in rural areas. Improvements are still needed including investing more in education, reducing commercialization, and changing attitudes around grades.
State of Education in Pakistan and Recommendationswaleedmoon2
The document provides an overview of Pakistan's education system, including its structure, types of education offered, top universities, literacy rates by major city, and roles of the government, Higher Education Commission, and NGOs in promoting education. It also discusses problems facing the system such as unequal access, poverty, gender gaps, lack of quality teachers, and low funding. Recommendations are made to improve uniformity, access, teacher quality, and financial support for education across Pakistan.
The document discusses teaching Pakistan studies and outlines several key points:
- Pakistan studies aims to enhance students' knowledge of Pakistan's history, culture, and geography to foster patriotism.
- However, the subject is often taught boringly using old lecture methods rather than engaging discussion, and students lack interest.
- An effective Pakistan studies curriculum is important and should avoid bias while including current issues, human rights topics, and encouraging an open mindset rather than narrow thinking. It should also reference sources for further learning.
This document provides an introduction to a research proposal that will examine whether holistic education is a myth in Malaysia's tertiary education system. It defines holistic education as an integrated curriculum approach that is both practical and focuses on inner student development. The study aims to identify how holistic education is characterized, how it is addressed in Malaysia's Higher Education Blueprint, and its role in developing student quality and achievement. However, the study has limitations due to its small sample size of only 300 undergraduates from universities in one Malaysian city.

The problems associated with the education system of Pakistan are lack of adequate budget, lack of
policy implementation, defective examination system, poor physical facilities, lack of teacher quality, lack of
implementation of education policies, directionless education, low enrollment, high scale dropouts, political
interference, outdated curriculum, corruption, poor management and supervision, lack of research, and lack
of uniformity [4]. The above mentioned problems could be solved by formulation of rational policies and
plan and by ensuring proper implementation of the policies [5]. Education is a nourishing force. It is the
constructive factor for any society [3]. Education enables people to work for their development and growth.
Hence education brings out the hidden potentialities of individuals and develops them.
2. GOALS OF EDUCATION IN PAKISTAN
The education system was envisioned by the founding fathers as the driving force behind all
national goals [5]. It was decided in the first national education conference 1974 held at Karachi that the
education system would work according to the national aspirations of Pakistan. The education system would
be truly related to the needs of the people of Pakistan. The father of the nation Quiad-e- Azam Muhammad
Ali Jinnah the main goal of the education system of Pakistan was to develop national character of Pakistani
generation [6]. This national character would contain high sense of responsibility, social integrity, selfless
service to the nation and morality on the part of the people of Pakistan.
For strengthening the role of education, various educational commissions were formed and
committees were constituted. But it is ironical to see that the implementation has been very poor [5]. Because
of this the quality of education in the country has suffered badly instead of making progress. Another
problem which has affected negatively the system is the widening gaps and distance between the educational
institutions and community. Parental involvement in the education process is vital for ensuring the quality
aspect. Home is the first school of a child. Without parental involvement in the process of education the
effective implementation of policies will remain a far cry. This will solve the problem of disparity as well [1].
3. CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF THE PROBLEMS OF EDUCATION
The education system of Pakistan despite of towering claims and plans faces the following problems
which are critically analyzed below;
3.1 Lack of uniformity
The system of education in Pakistan according to Iqbal (1981) is not based on uniform principles [5].
Different systems of education are simultaneously working in the country. The curriculum is also not
uniformed which has given birth to different schools of thoughts. For example there is a world of difference
between the attitudes of students coming out from the public educational institutions, Deeni Madaris and the
few private elite institutions. This trend has accelerated the pace of polarization in the society. According to
Zaki (1989) this is the result of divisive Pakistani education system [1]. This system has created a huge gap
among the nation and even has deeply penetrated into the cultural veins of the nation. The recent wave of
terrorism and the increasing sectarian division are the logical consequences of this divided system of
education. As a result of this current polarized system of education there has occurred a great social division
in the society on political, social and economic grounds rather than unity among the people which is cutting
knee deep the ideological and social foundation of the nation leading towards further divisions on linguistic
and regional grounds which can poetentailly damage the social cohesion and fabric of the society [7].
3.2 Education without direction
A sound education system is essential for every nation of the world [8]. Every nation develops its
generation on the basis of vigorous training and education on social, political, economic and ideological
grounds. Pakistani education system due being directionless and weak has not been able to develop and guide
its people on sound political and social grounds. There is lack of cohesion in the system and it is more prone
towards general education which does not bring any skilled manpower to the market. Resulting there is
increasing unemployment. This situation may promote sense of deprivation among the masses [9]. Due to
this there is cultural and political unrest in the society. Besides, there is lack of educational opportunities for
science and technology. In this way the development of thinking, reasoning and creativity of students is not
being polished.
3.3. Outdated curricula
Curriculum is the tool through which the goals of education are achieved. The curriculum of
education in Pakistan does not meet the demands of the current times. It is an old and traditional curriculum
3. IJERE ISSN: 2252-8822
Critical Analysis of The Problems of Education in Pakistan: Possible Solutions (Iqbal Ahmad)
81
which compels the learners to memorize certain facts and figures without taking into consideration the reality
that education is the holistic development of an individual. It places much emphasis on the psychology of the
learner as well which cannot be negated in the process of teaching and learning. The objectives of education
must be developed the psychological, philosophical and sociological foundations of education. The present
educational curriculum of Pakistan does not meet these modern standards of education and research. Hence
this curriculum is not promoting the interest of the learner for practical work, research, scientific knowledge
and reflective observation, rather, it emphasizes on memory and theory [4].
3.4 Lack of professional development of teachers
Training is essential for quality performance. Teaching is a challenging job. There is lack of training
opportunities for teachers in Pakistan. Although there various teacher training institutes in the country. These
institutes are either not well resourced or being poor run due to lack of fund and trained human resource such
trainers and administrators. There are no proper training standards in the available training institutes around
the country. Most of the training institutes have been closed down due to lack of funds. The courses being
run in the teacher education intuitions are outdated and very traditional which does not enhance the skills,
motivation and quality of teachers [1].
3.5 Lack of quality teachers
Teacher is the backbone of education system. The quality of teachers in Pakistani schools is
deplorable. According to a UNESCO report, the quality of the teachers and instruction in schools is of low
quality [5]. This situation is grimmer in remote parts of Punjab, Sindh and Baluchistan where even there are
no teachers available in schools. Research has found that teachers do not use new methods and strategies of
teaching and learning [3]. Majority of the teachers do not know about lesson planning which renders them
incapable of dealing with various problems in the process of teaching and learning. Teachers encourage
cramming of the materials by students. Students do not know the use of libraries in educational institutions.
Thus the reading habits are decreasing among the students. Teachers are highly responsible for all this mess.
It is their professional responsibility to guide the students towards book reading. Teachers rely on lecture
methods which do provide an opportunity to students to participate in the process of education as active
member. They only note does the information and memorize this just to pass the examination. Thus students
are evaluated on the basis of memorization of facts and information rather than performance [10].
3.6 Alarming dropouts
Due to lack of effective management of schools there is lack of discipline in schools and other
educational institutions which leads to high scale dropouts of students. This trend has increased to such an
extent that there are now 40 lac students out of school due to drop out in Pakistan. This trend according to
Hayes (1989) is due to partly the punishment in schools, poor motivating or unattractive school environment
and partly due to weak parenting on the part of parents [11]. Child labour and poverty is also one of the
reasons for dropouts form schools. An estimated 30 percent of children enrolled in primary education reach to
the matric level. This trend in Pakistan has added to the low literacy rate as well [8].
3.7 System of examination
Examination is the evaluation of student’s learning. It should be based on qualitative and
quantitative techniques to comprehensively evaluate the performance of students. The standards must ensure
validity and reliability of the procedures used in the assessment process. The basic aim of assessment is to
evaluate the performance of students. The examination system of Pakistan is not only outdated but it also
does not have the quality to evaluate the performance of learners comprehensively. The examination system
of Pakistan tests only the memory of students. It does not evaluate them in all aspects of learning [3].
Moreover, the examinations are influenced by external and internal forces which have encouraged
the trend of illegal practices such as unfair means. As a result of this the examination system promotes rote
learning and cramming which negates the role of high intellectual power of learners in the education process
such as critical thinking, reflection, analytical skills and so on. It does not measure the actual achievements
and performance of students [6].
3.8 Poor supervisory standards
The role of supervision is to explore weaknesses or faults of teachers and showing a harsh treatment
in form of transfers to remote areas or even termination from services [12]. Supervision is the monitoring of
teaching and learning. Through effective supervision techniques the process of teaching and learning could be
improved. The system of school supervision is aimless. There is not only lack of supervisory activities in
schools but the process of supervision itself does not bring any positive results for teachers and students.
4. ISSN: 2252-8822
IJERE Vol. 3, No. 2, June 2014 : 79 – 83
82
Supervision system is concerned with controlling and harassing the teachers rather than providing help and
guidance for improvement of performance [3].
3.9 Internal and external influences
Education system in Pakistan is not free from external and internal influences. Externally the system
has been made hostage to political interference and internally it is plagued by the bureaucratic manipulations
[13]. There is a greater favoritism and nepotism in matters of transfers, appointments and promotions. Due to
this the basic infrastructure of the education system in Pakistan has affected [4].
3.10 Lack of resources
Education resources such as books, libraries and physical facilities are important for smooth running
of educational process. There are despairingly no facilities of books, libraries and reading materials in all
educational institutions of the country. Besides, there are overcrowded classrooms, inadequate teachers and
ill-equipped laboratories. This entire grim situation has resulted in a despair and low standard education
system [4].
3.11 Policy implementation
Since the inception of Pakistan a number of education policies were created. There has been lack of
political will on the part of successive government to implement the policies vigorously. The policies were
highly ambitious but could not be implemented in true letter and spirit. There has been problem of corruption,
lack of funds and gross inconsistency in successive planning on the part of various political regimes in
Pakistan. Moreover, in the overall policy formulation teachers have been ignored. They are regarded as
unimportant element which has led to alienation between the teachers and the system of education [1].
3.12 Low budgetary allocation for education
Finance is considered the engine of any system. The education system of Pakistan has been crippled
mainly due to scarce finance. The successive governments have been giving less than 2.5 percent budget to
the education sector which is not sufficient for the growing educational needs of the nation in the present
changing times. In many of the developing regional countries such as Sri Lanka and Bangladesh the
budgetary allocation for education has increased. But in Pakistan it is declining day by day [7].
According to International Crisis group, Pakistan is amongst the 12 countries in the world that spent
less than 2 percent of their GDP on education sector [3]. With this insufficient budgetary allocation, the
country is hardly going to meet the targets of universalization of primary education as a signatory to the
Dakar Conference’s MDG goals by 2015 and onward.
3.13 Corruption
Among other causes, corruption is the main contributing factor which has deeply affected the
education system of Pakistan [8]. There is a weak system of check and balances and accountability which has
encouraged many criminal elements to misappropriate funds, use of authority illegally and giving
unnecessary favors in allocation of funds, transfers, promotions and decision making. According to
Transparency International, Pakistan is included in the list of the most corrupt countries of the world [3]. Due
to low salaries, teachers in search of decent life standards and to keep their body and soul together attempt to
unfair means in the examination and matters relating to certificates, degrees and so on.
4. CONCLUSION
This paper conludes that education develops people in all domains of life such as social, moral,
spiritual, political and economic. It is a dynamic force which enables every nation to achieve its overall
national goals. It is an established fact that countries that have developed a sound system of education have a
sound social and political system. With effective educational systems many countries are playing a leadership
role in the comity of nations. They are enjoying their liberties and also are politically and economically free
and developed. The education system of Pakistan has not been able to play its role effectively in nation
building. This factor has contributed towards development of frustration among the Pakistani society. The
future generation of Pakistan is directionless due to defective education system which has drastically failed to
raise the nation on sound economic, social, political and moral grounds.The directionless system of education
is producing forces of degree holders who are deficient in high order live skills such as reflection, critical
thinking, analysis, research and creativity. The education system instead has focused on feeding the
individuals with outdated information and knowledge which is less relevant to the current fast changing

world. Students coming out of the Pakistani education system are theoretically sound but have no skills to
apply whatever they learn from their institutions due to the traditional methods of teaching and learning.
Finaly, this study concludes that the there is an urgent need to reform the system of education of
Pakistan and for this purpose this study presents the following recommendations.
5. RECOMMENDATIONS
1. There should be sufficient budgetary allocation for education in the national GDP. This will provide the
system with resources to take fresh breath of life.
2. There should be quality institutions for the professional development of teachers form primary to higher
levels. For this purpose the existing system of teacher education institutions must be provided with funds
qualified human resources to run programmes of training for teachers on periodical basis.
3. The system of accountability must be strengthened and all the professionals associated with the system of
education should be educated to own their responsibilities on individual and collective basis. This help in
creating a sense of ownership of the system and its functions.
4. Curriculum should be evaluated on annual basis. In this regard a vast survey could be conducted to seek
opinions of teachers, parents and community regarding their expectations and observations. In this light
of this and the expert recommendations of the educations researchers the curriculum goals should be
redefined and the such curriculum should be prepared which caters to the psyche and needs of the society
and the country without any discrimination of cast, color and creed.
5. There should be as less political interference as possible. This will allow the system to function smoothly
and without any discrimination. Frequent political intervention creates gaps in the system which has led to
corruption and other evils.
6. Polices should be implemented without any delay of time and resources. There should be a strong
political will on the part of the government to implement polices without any delay. Poor policy
implementation has led to creation of gaps and trust deficit on the part of the public and government
agencies.
7. Examination system should be made free form the mafia of unfair means, corruption and illegal
gratifications. For this purpose the system of supervision and inspection could be improved both
physically and theoretically. The government should enhance the salaries and the education professionals
so that their tendencies are not diverted towards evil means of getting favors and support.
8. The culture of research should be promoted within educational institutions. For this purpose the pace of
research oriented programs in teaching and learning should be accelerated in educational institutions
around the country especially at higher levels. Government should increase the volume of funding to
higher education commission for this purpose.
