Abstract
Constitutional provisions provide a guiding framework for the action taken by the responsible authorities of the state. The current study investigated the constitutional provisions of Pakistan and South Korea for the education of its citizens. The constitution of Pakistan 1973 mentioned education as a subject in Article 25(a), 37(b), and 38 (d) which states the government will eradicate illiteracy in minimum possible time, and education up to secondary level will be free and compulsory for all the citizens of the state. Similarly, the constitution of South Korea under article 31 explains the educational commitments of the state to its citizens. Both the states have designed educational policies to reach the desired targets. All these policies have three common elements (1) Sustainability, (2) Outreach, and (3) Impact. All these are based on the last element that is impact which reflects that whether the targets have been achieved or not. Therefore this study assessed the impact of the constitutional provisions of Pakistan and South Korea on the overall literacy of its masses and on the quality of education.
