 INTRODUCTION TO SECH
 The Government of Pakistan recognizes its responsibility
to educate the handicapped pupils first time in the report
of Commission on National Education, 1959.

 But the proposal to provide education for these children

was not made until the Education Policy 1972-1980, and
in the Fifth Five Year Plan (Pakistan Planning
Commission, 1978), a modest sum was allocated to
special education.

 INTRODUCTION TO SECH
 In 1980s, much greater government involvement was
witnessed and increased budgetary provision for special
education.

 During the Sixth Five Year Plan (1983-1988), the social

welfare programme concentrated on strengthening
existing institutions of social welfare and special
education.

 In order to overcome organizational setbacks, the Federal

Directorate General of Special Education with provincial
7
counterparts was set up in 1985.
 INTRODUCTION TO SECH

institutions are functioning under the control of the
provincial governments for the children having different
disabilities.

 Recently, the special education institutions run by the

federal government are devolved to the respective
provincial governments in the consequences of the
implementation of 18th amendment.
