This document discusses gaps in the implementation of education policy in Pakistan. It outlines several national education policies introduced between 1947-2017 and highlights strategies and targets of some of these policies related to literacy. Key rationales for failure to implement education policies effectively include weak planning, lack of resources, unclear objectives, and insufficient government budget and commitment. The document concludes by providing suggestions to address these gaps such as involving stakeholders in policy formation, strengthening accountability, and decentralizing administration.

- 8. Suggestions • On the basis of this study the following recommendations are provided. • All stakeholders such as teachers, principals, and researchers may be involved or informed on policy formulation and implementation. In this way the gap of understanding would be resolved. • Strong coordination between the schools and the inspectorate may help in bridging the gulf of mistrust and alienation • Accountability system may be strengthened to decrease corruption • In order to overcome financial constraints, practical measures may be taken for effective planning and utilization of available resources both human and material. • Through strong accountability, the prevalence of corruption, nepotism and favoritism could be controlled. • The people involved in the process of formulation, implementation and evaluation of policies can be trained to enhance their theoretical knowledge in skills in better administration, management and coordination. • A string bond or relationship between the beneficiary community and policy makers can decrease the trust deficit between the system and public. • The step of decentralization should be strengthened. It will decrease the delays in implementation of measures taken at the central level.
