Developing countries have seen a direct influence of foreign players<br />on their educational policies. This influence of foreign players on the<br />Pakistani educational policy has been direct and prominent after 9/11<br />attacks. This paper looks into the effectiveness of money spent by the<br />donor nations to malign the effect of Islamization in the Pakistani<br />society. This research was conducted taking into consideration the<br />ideas that investment in the Pakistani education sector by foreign<br />donors have not westernized the Pakistani youth and that there is no<br />difference between the perception of the Pakistani youth and their<br />parents with regard to culture and religion. The sample selected<br />consisted of 120 youngsters aged between 16 to 18 years of age.<br />A questionnaire consisting of 17 yes/no questions was used to<br />collect the required data. The results from the research showed that the<br />family structure in Pakistan was half way between traditional and<br />western. There were certain things that the Pakistani youth understood<br />as an essential part of their lives, and there was no compromise on the<br />traditional values, whereas there were other things that the youth<br />considered less important and these were steadily disappearing from<br />their set of traditional values.
