Abstract

Elementary Education has a key importance in the provision of education in a country. In Pakistan, since 1947 up to now, in each educational policy and plan, different actions have been set to take for the development of the Elementary Education system. In the present study, the main focus is to examine the actions and achievements that are set for elementary education. The current investigation revolves around the chronological development of Elementary Education in Pakistan. Here, the discussion about the provision of elementary education is presented side by side, as different plans and policies have been presented. The majority of outcomes describe those five-year plans and policies that are presented in different regimes but were not executed and applied in education. The way to gain progress is only hidden in the implementation of these objectives in a true sense, like well well-developed educational system of the world. This paper also highlights the importance of the historical development of plans and their role in the provision of quality education, especially at the elementary level of a country. In the end, this paper recommends some considerations for the betterment of the situation.
