We believe that skills based education could provide a wayforward to sustainable development for the country. It is a hopeful scenario that more than 60% of the population of Pakistan is less than 30 years of age and almost half of them is under 15 years of age. It is important for the policy makers and planners to learn from the societies where human resource development is integrated in educational planning at secondary and higher secondary schools level. The paper at hand presents the policy analysis part of a bigger study which was conducted for proposing changes in the current policies and practices of technical and vocational education in Pakistan. To fulfill this purpose three of best models of technical and vocational education were reviewed and a comparative analysis was conducted to identify the adaptable policy measures in Pakistan. The three models reviewed and compared were of Germany, Switzerland and South Korea. This paper presents analysis of policies in the three aforementioned countries including the implementation strategy proposed; as well as lessons learned for improving the policy of technical and vocational education in Pakistan. This article is based on one part of a larger study.
