Overview
About Us - MOFEPT

Introduction

The Ministry of Professional and Technical Training was established in July 2011, following the implementation of the 18th Amendment. Some of the departments or organizations previously under MOLM and MOE were transferred to this Ministry. On 25th November 2011, the Supreme Court of Pakistan directed that, in view of Article 25-A of the Constitution, the Federal Government cannot absolve itself of the responsibility of providing education to its citizens.

Following this, the Ministry was renamed the “Ministry of Education and Training” on 24th July 2012. Later, in November 2012, the Council of Common Interest (CCI) endorsed the renaming and approved its functioning. On 7th June 2013, the Ministry was again reorganized and renamed as the “Ministry of Education, Trainings & Standards in Higher Education.”

Finally, on 19th June 2014, it was renamed as the “Ministry of Federal Education and Professional Training (MOFEPT)”, which continues to oversee education and training across Pakistan.
