National Educational Policies of Pakistan with reference to Social Justice: A Critical Analysis

Abstract

Education in society is the only way to excel in a global context, so education should be updated and relevant to the needs of society. Social justice requires ongoing struggle and cannot be separated from the educational policies, theories & practices of professionals, schools, academic disciplines, and governmental. This review study was done to critically analyze the educational policies of Pakistan from 1947 to 2021 that emphasis was laid on free and compulsory education, but we failed to achieve it yet because the sincerity of the goal did not produce results. One of the major purposes of education policies is to ensure social justice in a society. Political unstable circumstances were the main reasons due to educational policies failing. Since independent educational policies were made, they were not fully implemented and failed to achieve objectives & school programs were not completely enforced.
