This study analytically examines the role of the Council of Islamic Ideology in Pakistan in advancing intellectual and moral development within the educational sphere. It explores the Council’s constitutional mandate, institutional evolution, and its contribution to curriculum guidance, teacher development, and value-oriented educational reform. By analyzing its models of moral and intellectual training, the research shows how Islamic educational philosophy can be aligned with contemporary pedagogical approaches to promote ethical reasoning, balanced thinking, and social responsibility among learners. The study also reviews the implementation of educational initiatives and the institutional and structural limitations that influence their effectiveness. The findings indicate that while the Council provides an important ideological and policy foundation for value-based education, its impact relies on systemic reforms, coordinated institutional efforts, and structured evaluation mechanisms. The study concludes that a coherent and research-informed framework connecting policy, pedagogy, and moral formation can significantly enhance intellectual moderation and ethical stability in Pakistan’s educational environment.
