Correct Answer:
C. Sharif Commission
The National Education Commission of 1959 was a pivotal body established in Pakistan to review the existing education system and propose comprehensive reforms. The report of this commission was presented by its chairman, S.M. Sharif, who was then the Secretary of Education. Consequently, the commission and its recommendations are widely known as the Sharif Commission Report. This report significantly influenced educational policies and structures in Pakistan for decades, advocating for a more unified and purpose-driven education system.
- Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah (A) passed away in 1948, well before the commission was formed.
- Liaquat Ali Khan (B) was assassinated in 1951, also preceding the commission's establishment.
- Zia-ul-Haq (D) was a military ruler who came to power much later, in 1977, and was not involved with the 1959 commission.
