Pakistan government has issued nine educational policy documents, covering various aspects of the science and technology education. From 1947 to 1971, due to the domestic and international political and economic problems for a new country, the science and technology education policy could not be fully implemented. From 1972-1998, the development of the country improved but still due to political complex situations in Pakistan and abroad, the education policy was not implemented continuously and stably, and the progress of science and technology education was quite slow. Since 1998, the political environment improved and government emphasized on the education and growth of science and technology, so science and technology education gained attention in right direction and progressed rapidly. At present, Pakistan's science and technology education is still in the road to achieve exclusive and practical education. The shortage of proper investment and the lack of dedicated institutions are two major factors that hinder the execution of science and technology education plans and policies.
