Pakistan's System of Education

Education in Pakistan is largely a provincial matter. Although the Ministry of Education (MOE) presides over Pakistan’s entire system of education, each province has its own department of education. The central government continues to be the overall policy-making, coordinating, and advisory authority. Educational institutions located in the federal capital territory are administered directly by the MOE. Schools normally close for ten weeks from the beginning of June until mid-late August. Winter holidays usually run from mid December to early January. Primary and secondary education is provided by public and private schools, in addition to Islamic madrasahs. Universities are administered by the provincial governments, but are funded by the central government through the Higher Education Commission (HEC). The University Grants Commission of Pakistan has been defunct now since 2002 when it was superseded by the HEC. The HEC encompasses all degree granting universities and institutions (public and private) and is responsible for coordinating reviews and evaluations of all academic programs. In addition, the HEC oversees the planning, development and chartering of both public and private institutions of higher education.

NES' Educational Governance Framework

“Educational Governance is the term used to describe the systems and standards through which organisations control their educational activities and demonstrate accountability for the continuous improvement of quality and performance.” Educational Governance at NES comprises the following elements: NES' Educational Governance Framework was approved by the NES Board on 9 May 2006, and has been rapidly implemented across the organisation. There is now an Educational Governance Committee reporting directly to the NES Board, and a supporting Educational Governance Executive Group, which co-ordinates most of the operational aspects of this work. The Executive Group has considered reports from each professional directorate and most large scale educational initiatives. A comprehensive Educational Governance monitoring schedule is in place for 2007/8.

About NASA's Education Program

NASA’s journeys into air and space have deepened humankind’s understanding of the universe, advanced technology breakthroughs, enhanced air travel safety and security, and expanded the frontiers of scientific research. These accomplishments share a common genesis: education. As the United States begins the second century of flight, the Nation must maintain its commitment to excellence in science, technology, engineering and mathematics education to ensure that the next generation of Americans can accept the full measure of their roles and responsibilities in shaping the future. NASA will continue the Agency’s tradition of investing in the Nation’s education programs and supporting the country’s educators who play a key role in preparing, inspiring, exciting, encouraging, and nurturing the young minds of today who will be the workforce of tomorrow. In 2006 and beyond, NASA will continue to pursue three major education goals: -- Strengthening NASA and the Nation's future workforce -- Attracting and retaining students in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, or STEM, disciplines -- Engaging Americans in NASA's mission Center Education Offices
