The main objective of education in Pakistan according to policy is:

Pakistan was founded on the basis of Islamic ideology, and this foundational principle has significantly shaped its national education policies, particularly since the late 1970s.

• Islamic ideology promotion is the correct answer. Official education policies in Pakistan, most notably the 1979 National Education Policy, explicitly state the objective of fostering an Islamic way of life, promoting Islamic values, and integrating Islamic teachings into the curriculum to build national character and identity.
• Economic growth only (A) is too narrow; while economic development is an objective, it is not the primary or sole focus, especially given the nation's ideological foundation.
• Political awareness only (C) is also restrictive; education aims for broader civic responsibility, not just political awareness, and certainly not as the main goal over ideological promotion.
• Technical skills only (D) represents vocational training, which is a component of education but not its overarching main objective in the context of national policy.
