Abstract
Developing countries have seen a direct influence of foreign players
on their educational policies. This influence of foreign players on the
Pakistani educational policy has been direct and prominent after 9/11
attacks. This paper looks into the effectiveness of money spent by the
donor nations to malign the effect of Islamization in the Pakistani
society. This research was conducted taking into consideration the
ideas that investment in the Pakistani education sector by foreign
donors have not westernized the Pakistani youth and that there is no
difference between the perception of the Pakistani youth and their
parents with regard to culture and religion. The sample selected
consisted of 120 youngsters aged between 16 to 18 years of age.
A questionnaire consisting of 17 yes/no questions was used to
collect the required data. The results from the research showed that the
family structure in Pakistan was half way between traditional and
western. There were certain things that the Pakistani youth understood
as an essential part of their lives, and there was no compromise on the
traditional values, whereas there were other things that the youth
considered less important and these were steadily disappearing from
their set of traditional values.
