The policy roundtable titled, “Uniformity, Diversity & Equity in Pakistan’s Complex Education
Landscape”, presents itself as a platform for a comprehensive and critical debate among select
academics, policymakers, and stakeholders from the public and private sector to deliberate on the
aspiration of a uniform system of education and the potential for governance under the proposed
system, whilst acknowledging diversity as consequential to determining inclusive formulation and
successful implementation of reforms in Pakistan’s education service delivery.
The roundtable intends to inform future policy proposals through elaborate discussions to provide
strategic direction to the government to move towards an evidence-driven, implementable
solutions.
Future Direction
Pakistan and its federating units comprise one of the largest, most diverse and multi-tiered systems
of education service delivery. The task of governance is made more complex by deeply-rooted and
multidimensional inequities, across and within regions. This diversity and complexity challenges the
aspiration for uniformity of policy and provision. The policy roundtable will encourage future
policy making to acknowledge this diversity as a key element to determining inclusive formulation
and successful implementation of educational reforms in Pakistan. In connecting researchers,
practitioners and policy partners, it will present and then probe the scope for diversity under the
vision of a uniform and simultaneously decentralized education landscape. This policy roundtable
aims to develop policy-research collaborations in a way that will feed into all stages of the evidence-
to-policy chain to articulate and resolve issues in education through an effective and coherent
framework for reform.
