The Secretary heads the Ministry which is mandated to prepare policy direction for preparing and training of the country's manpower to meet national and international demands for skilled workforce. After the Eighteenth Amendment to the Constitution of Pakistan in 2010, the subject of education was devolved from the federal government to the provincial governments, which has drastically reduced the powers and mandate of the Federal Education Secretary.[1]
