ABSTRACT
The Pakistan movement was propelled by a tremendous passion for Islamic ideology. The Constitution of Pakistan lays due stress on the promotion of Islamic way of life. Education is receiving top priority in contemporary Pakistan. The Maktab Scheme is a successful attempt at persuading the illiterate villagers of Pakistan to develop their own primary schools when neither funds, nor staff, nor school buildings are readily available. The role of the mosque schools in the development of Pakistan's educational economy has been duly appreciated by the Commission on National Education, which has offered a number of perceptive suggestions for further improvement in the scheme. The rapid expansion of the denominational institutions has stimulated lively discussions on many a vital educational issue with interesting arguments advanced on both sides. The differences between the denominational and the state-owned institutions are almost negligible at the collegiate level.
