The Ministry of Federal Education and Professional Training (MOFEPT) is taking bold steps to make Pakistan’s education sector more transparent, accountable, and citizen-focused. Speaking at a press conference on Tuesday, Minister of State Ms. Wajiha Qamar highlighted a series of reforms that rely on digital tools and merit-based systems.
Minister also stated that since 2024, all ministry procurements are conducted digitally under the Public Procurement Regulatory Authority (PPRA) rules using the e-Pak Acquisition and Disposal System (EPADS). The process is fully traceable, reducing human interference and favoritism. MOFEPT has been 100% e-Office compliant since 2019, meaning all official correspondence, approvals, and decisions now follow digital workflows.
Complaints from the public are managed through the Prime Minister’s Performance Delivery Unit (PMDU), this transparent and trackable mechanism has strengthened responsiveness and reduced reliance on informal influence.
She also explained that NAVTTC trainings follow strict merit through written tests, monitored delivery, and syllabus compliance. Databases are maintained for successful trainees, with periodic follow-ups to track employment outcomes and analyze training effectiveness.
Minister emphasized that these initiatives aim to reduce discretionary practices, improve service delivery, and build trust between citizens and the education system.
