Abstract
Established to ‘experience’ the implementation of the tenets of Islam as a ‘code of life’, History of
Pakistan has witnessed a very strong and vital role of religion. Therefore, from the ‘Objective
Resolution’ to the current constitutional format, the state of Pakistan has demonstrated an ‘Islamic
will’. As education system is considered a basic tool for the shaping of the lives of masses and
application of state policy, the purpose of this paper is to evaluate how ‘Islamic will’ has affected the
state’s education policy and how education policy has affected the educational curriculum? Exploring
the relationship between state ideology, education policy and education system, the paper aims at
understanding the nature of education being imparted on the generation of Pakistan. For the study, a
very important period of the History of Pakistan, i.e., after the establishment of New Pakistan, and the
first period of the application of the Constitution of Pakistan 1973, is focused in this study. The paper
analyzes in this context National Education Policies from 1972 to 1979. In this way, the paper also
provides an opportunity to have a comparative insight into the regimes of democracy and MarshalLaw.
