Abstract
Educational policy-making is a cornerstone of educational planning (UNESCO). In the
light of the National Education Policy (2009-2015), the paper discusses strengths and
weaknesses prevalent in policy formulation and explores implementation and review
process in Pakistan by making use of available relevant literature on this topic with
special reference to policy reviews available with UNESCO. The paper also attempts to
discuss critically National Education Policy by making use of the International Institute
for Educational Planning’s (IIEP) applied framework regarding educational planning
and policy-making. The policy analysis framework and case studies developed by
UNESCO provide planners with both a conceptual and an operational guide for
understanding the critical linkages in the policy-planning process for education. The
purpose of this paper is to suggest a scheme or series of steps through which sound and
workable policies can be formulated, and then, through effective planning, put into
effect, evaluated and redesigned. The paper puts forward recommendations for
exploiting opportunities and encountering challenges for making education policy a
cyclic process to avoid incremental policy-making approach.
