Abstract

Education is the backbone for the development of any country in the world. It lays the foundation for social,
political and economic uplift. It is widely accepted that for the prosperity of any country, quality education
of their citizens is indispensable. Quality education is only possible if there are good governmental policies
for its implementation. Pakistan is among the underdeveloped nations of the world and faced critical
problems of education over the past many years. After the independence, from 1947 to 2017, one
educational conference and eight educational policies have been implemented to upgrade the education
system of the country. This paper critically examines the educational policies from 1947 to 2017 which
were developed by government. It also focuses to identify the flaws in each policy which hinders the
implementation and caused the reasons for its failure. The paper also suggested certain ways to forward
these policies effectively in order to bring positive change in country’s education.
Keywords: Educational policy; Quality education; Formation and implementation, Pakistan
