EDUCATION SECTOR REFORM
PLAN
The government is making all possible efforts and
striving hard to promote the literacy situation and to
achieve the universal primary education. In this
endeavor, the government put forward a package
entitled as Education Sector Reform (ESR) 2001-04.
Amongst other objectives of ESR, it aims at
improvement in the literacy rate, universalization of
primary education and quality education enabling all
citizens to reach their maximum potential.
The current situation of the targeted indicators is
shown in the table below. The targeted literacy rate
set under the ESR was 60 per cent for 2005 and
currently it is at 53 per cent. Though most of these
targets were not achieved except for secondary
school (where the higher trend in data is due to
change in definition taken by PSLM) enrollment a
considerable increasing trend in these indicators can
be seen. 37
MADRASSA REFORM PLAN

A project titled “Madrassa Reforms” was launched

in 2002-03 with the directive of the President for a
period of 5 years at a capital cost of Rs. 5759.395
million. The main objective of this program is to
provide financial assistance to Deeni Madaris to
introduce formal subjects in their curricula. The
progress made toward the goals of this reform
program include, simplification of the process of
registration of Madaris, the standard procedure
prescribed by the Ministry of Interior to control
funds has produced positive results, a large number
of Madaris have applied to provincial/area
governments for financial assistance under the
project , 58 madaris in AJ&K have been cleared for
financial assistance and a great breakthrough by the
FATA administration has been made by distributing
cheques to 36 registered Deeni Madaris.
OBJECTIVE OF NEAS
(National Education assessment plan)
The basic objective of NEAS is to establish a system
of student assessment in the Ministry of Education
and to develop national capacity for conducting
assessments periodically to monitor student
achievement. A small project on Immediate
Requirements costing Rs.10.807 million for a period
of 16 months (March 2002 to June 2003) was
approved by the government and is under
implementation through funds allocated under ESR
program. However, since the objective cannot be
achieved in a short span of 16 months, a 5 years
project has been prepared for making national
assessment a permanent feature of the education
system even after the project period.
The donors’ assistance has also been sought in the
area of professional expertise of international
standing, local and foreign training through twinning
arrangements, implementation, pilot testing and
other assessment related areas.
NATIONAL EDUCATION
ASSESMENT PLAN

National Education Assessment System (NEAS) is a

World Bank funded project with a total cost of Rs.
319.364 million including foreign exchange
component with World Bank share of Rs. 273.110
million. The government of Pakistan is committed to
improve the quality of education at all levels. The
NEAS is one of the key programs of the Ministry
meant to improve the quality of education at
elementary level, with the objective to measure
learning achievements of grade 4 and 5 students, to
develop capacity in educational assessment related
activities, to institutionalization of sustainable
monitoring system and information dissemination.
OBJECTIVE OF BELA
(Basic Education & Literacy Authority)

In order to promote non-formal basic

education, it has been decided that a fully
autonomous organization under Ministry
of Education namely: Basic Education &
Literacy Authority (BELA) may be
established. The basic objectives of the
project is to supplement government’s
policies with regard to UPE and basic
education through extending non-formal
education facilities for out of school
children and youth (5-14) having no
access to the formal system of education.
Other objectives include:

Extending free and flexible learning

opportunities to girls who are otherwise
deprived of access to education due to poverty
and social taboos, etc.
Establish 71815 new BEC schools ( in addition
to 10185 ongoing NFBE schools) for providing
primary level education across the country
through the Non-Formal Education System;
A basic Education Community School (BECS)
will intake capacity of 30 learners on an average.
If the enrollment in a primary school exceeds 40,
physical facilities of two schools (including two
teachers) will be provided;
Create employment opportunities for 71815
Basic Education Community Primary School
teachers, besides 728 supporting/operational
staff;
Introduce non-formal approach to supplement
and complement the formal stream of education
for eradication of illiteracy and achievement of
Universal Primary Education;
Provide second chance of primary education to
mis-outs and out of school children of 5-14
years age;
Provide education in areas where formal
primary school system has not been able to
reach so far;
Provide free education with flexible timings
(fight against child labor) to poor people living
below the poverty line in Pakistan;
Empowering of rural girls who are the main
beneficiaries of the basic education community
schools;
 Provide education to poor girls at their doorstep.

Facilitate the parents to send their children to

schools and become useful, peaceful and
civilized future citizens of the community
HIGHER EDUCATION COMMISION

Pakistan is ranked amongst the lowest in the world

in higher education enrollment rates at 2.9 percent.
Other Asian developing countries, such as India and
Korea, stand at 10 percent and 68 percent
respectively. According to a report of the steering
committee for higher education in 2001, only 2.6
percent of the students between the ages 17-23
enrolled in universities which have increased to 2.9
in 2005. The target is to double enrollment in the
next five years by increasing the capacity of the
existing higher education institutions and also
establishing new ones. The quality of education
provided is not up to the mark, which can be gauged
from the fact that not a single Pakistani university is
ranked among the top 500 universities of the world.
FOREIGN AID AND SUPPORT

 US AID TO TEACHERS

ISLAMABAD: A Memorandum of Understanding

(MoU) was signed here today between the United
Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural
Organisation (UNESCO) and the Federal Education
Directorate for a $3.4 million three-year programme
to strengthen teachers’ education in Pakistan.

Funded by the United States Agency for

International Development (USAID), the
programme will establish a new framework for
teachers’ accreditation and management in basic
education. Implemented by UNESCO, the project
will fundamentally reform approaches to policy,
organisation, institutional roles and classroom
delivery at all levels. “Education is one of the key
components of our broad and growing strategic
relationship with Pakistan,” said US Ambassador
Ryan C Crocker.
 WORLD BANK
In Pakistan’s largest province, Punjab, a
combination of political leadership, reform
vision and support from institutions like the
World Bank is seeing early success in driving
these numbers in a positive direction. Punjab is
in its third year of an education reform program
assisted by credits totalling $300 million from
the World Bank’s concessionary International
Development Association.
"It’s really exciting to see what has been
achievable in a short time with the will, a plan,
and sustained commitment," says task manager
for the World Bank Tahseen Sayed. The program
is showing significant early gains. A stipend
program for girls in grades 6 to 8 targets the 15
districts of Punjab where literacy is below 40
percent. Free textbooks are being delivered on
time to approximately 9 million elementary
school students and a monitoring system
captures data on the public education system that
is regularly validated by third parties.
 CONFERENCE OF UNESCO

The objective of the conference is to brief the

political leadership about the state of primary
education in the country in comparison to other
developing countries, especially neighbours in South
Asia, review progress made over the past years and
identify and agree on the way forward. UNESCO
and PILDAT stated that a draft declaration would be
shared with the invited parties and after it is agreed,
would be signed and released at the end of the APC.
PILDAT is also preparing background papers for the
political leadership and media to provide them some
basic information about the key issues facing the
‘Education For All’ movement in Pakistan.
 PROBLEMS

Commercialization
Now many people are starting there own school for
the sack of money. They are making this as an
profession of earning.
Gender gap
We are in the 20th Century, still we are facing these
gender problems in many cities of Pakistan. Girls are
not sent to schools. Their parents still have the lack of
importance of Education.
Infrastructure
We don’t have any Standards given by the
government for the Schools, universities, colleges.
Government schools doesn’t have teachers, lights,
chairs or even course.
Teachers
Teachers are not trained and they are not paid smart
salaries as compare to private schools, which cost
high to the parents
Family
The environment plays an important role in student’s
life. Parents should take care of their responsibility
towards their children in this regard.
Government
Government is not showing any prominent action in
this sector, which is an core issue of Pakistan.
RECOMMENDATIONS

Gender gap can be removed by providing backward

families regarding the importance of education. early
age marriages and poverty is the major cause of
gender gap
Educational institutes are nothing but profit making
organizations and they have nothing to do with
education and knowledge
Infrastructure is in the worst condition in some rural
areas
Teachers in our nation is considered as after parents
but are not fully dedicated to students. colleges are
getting empty but coaching centres are over
populated and private tuitions
Family can play a positive role in promoting
educational industry by letting their childrens to get
knowledge
Government can play a mass role,infact its is already
playing a good role but not up to the mark.
 political parties use illiterate younger to market their
party and forgotten their need for education

 REMEDIES

The provincial government, has also decided

upon 15 percent increase in the salaries of
government employees, while the pensions of
government employees would be increased by
15 to 20 percent. On this increase, the provincial
government has to bear an extra expense of Rs
2.5 billion.

construction of new girls primary schools,
launching of female education in backward
districts, granting of Rs 200 per month
scholarships for increasing number of girls
students, and Rs 1000 monthly special

project for provision of buses for girls. The new
development schemes include establishment of
new primary, middle and high schools,
upgradation, repairs of school buildings,
providing basic facilities like computer labs,
furniture and teaching instruments.
The provincial government would provide free
textbooks to both boys and girls from Nursery to

our foreign aids into work which will results in
producing future leaders. We have the Potential to
grow as a Great Nation, and education is the best
tool to polish our youth. In order to meet the
international standard of education, we need to
contribute alot towards this sector, which will later
