Minister for Federal Education Shafqat Mahmood has directed to formulate Pakistan Education Policy 2021 through a widespread consultative process.

In a tweet today (Sunday), he said, while we have taken number of initiatives including Single National Curriculum a formal education policy for country is necessary; so on my direction process has been started by Ministry of Federal Education and Professional Training.

It is pertinent to mention here that Pakistan Education Policy 2021 will ensure a national cohesion and harmony across religious and ethnic divides as well as capturing the divergence that is absolutely essential for the context of Pakistan.

It will also nationally converge on key education aspects for standards, educational stages system of exams and admissions, teacher management standards. This policy will ensure equity in education for all children and institutions across the country.   

While we have taken a number of initiatives including single national curriculum, A formal Education policy for the country is necessary. So on my direction a process has been started by the Ministry of Education which includes widespread consultation. All suggestions welcome
