2 National Education Policy- Chronology of Policies 1947-2015
First Educational Conference, 1947 Report of the Commission on National Education, 1959 Education Policy, 1970 The Education Policy, National Education Policy and Implementation Programs, 1979 National Education Policy, National Education Policy, Educational Sector Reforms, 2001 National Education Policy, 2009

3 18th Amendment – April 19, 2010 Abolishing the concurrent list transferring the residuary powers to provinces for 47 subjects including Education and Health This led to major shifts in entitlements, decision making and responsibilities across the federation. Subjects on which both federal and provincial governments could make laws were devolved completely to the provinces with the abolition of the concurrent list

4 Constitution of Pakistan Article 25-A - 2010
Fundamental Right to Education – “The State shall provide free and compulsory education to all children of the age five to sixteen years in such manner may be determined by law”

5 Revision of National Education Policy (NEP) 2009
Despite its efforts, Pakistan is still falling short on its commitment to achieve Universal Primary Education (UPE) and desired literacy rates (87% by 2015 EFA- NPA) The need to review the NEP 2009 is essential so we can: match and upgrade decision making aligned to the devolved provincial set up and in light of article 25-A Address areas previously neglected in NEP e.g.Special/inclusive Education; ICTs; Integrate the upcoming Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) especially SDG# 4 and its 10 targets for education (to be finalized September 2015 globally) ; this replaces the MDGs. Sadly Pakistan remains off track to meet the MDGs (Goals 2 on UPE and 3 on Gender Equality ) Identify the role of the community as a major support and accountability forum

6 Government Recommended Framework for NEP 2009
The federal government has proposed a set of general guidelines These include: Revision of the vision, mission, and objectives of the policy All chapters to be revised in light of the 18th amendment The new policy document will be theme specific rather than subsector specific Policy should be accompanied by an implementation framework, annual targets, and estimated costs A recommended layout of the policy framework is as follows:

7 Vision NEP 2009 Vision: Recrafting the Vision for NEP 2016
“Our education system must provide quality education to our children and youth to enable them to realize their individual potential and contribute to development of society and nation, creating a sense of Pakistani nationhood, the concepts of tolerance, social justice, democracy, their regional and local culture and history based on the basic ideology enunciated in the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan.” ( Source: NEP 2009 pg. 17) Recrafting the Vision for NEP 2016 Elements can be suggested by all and one group can work on this
