The coalition government has prohibited any further work on the single national curriculum (SNC) introduced by the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) government.
According to its sources, the channel reported that students from class 6th to class 8th would be taught the old syllabus rather than the new one.
Educationists, on the other hand, have protested the government’s decision.
An educationist, Razaur Rehman, has called the SNC a national asset and stated that any further changes to the curriculum will not be tolerated at any cost. “The government is requested to proceed with the SNC,” he said, adding that any such move would be strongly condemned.
According to the president of the Serving Schools and Colleges Association, the government’s decision to roll back the new curriculum is a bad one. “The SNC was created after consultations with educationists from across Pakistan, and any change based solely on political considerations will be detrimental to the students,” he believes.
