In this regard, the Federal Education Ministry Additional Secretary Mohiuddin Wani has sent letters to all provinces, vice-chancellors, educationists and other authorities associated with education for their input. The initial draft of the new education policy will be finalized by the first week of February 2021. All stakeholders will be consulted again on the proposed policy between February and March, and then final approval of the new education policy will be taken by March 23.
