Consideration of Islamic Values in the Educational Policies of Pakistan

Abstract

Educational policies are made in any country to enable the system of education more effective according to the needs
of time. In these all policies and planes some basic points are considered to maintain the required standard of education. Being
an Islamic country Pakistan always considered the religious aspect as the basic element while preparing any policy. This study
aimed to give an overview of all educational policies from the very start 1947 to the current educational policy of 2009. By
observing these policies the fact comes before us that these all have some attractive recommendations for providing knowledge
about Islamic values to the students, but unfortunately they are always remained in paper shape and practical steps are not
taken for implementation. As a result we observed the students who are almost fruitless from Islamic knowledge. So through this
study in the light of the conclusions it was recommended that there should not only made effective educational policies for
upgrading our educational system but special focus should be given to provide perfect and effective Islamic awareness to the
students especially at secondary level when many changes occurred among individual, and this awareness is essential for best
moral training of students.
