Abstract
The basic assumption of this paper is that education, though the most enduring
strand of the social fabric, must for clarity of understanding, be seen in the relevant political and
economic contextual framework. The political and economic life in a country fosters and sustains
education, but these forces are far too strong in impact and can very well work at cross purposes.
The story of education in Pakistan that unfolded itself in a span of sixty years had its genesis in
India and was a branching out from the same system which came as a legacy from the British.
In Pakistan the system has grown and survived in a practically hostile political and economic
environment. These conditions continue to stay on and education in the country is still hankering
for a more hospitable climate.
