CURRICULUM PROBLEMS OF PAK-ISTAN

Lack of sequence Economics problem Political interference Disapproval of society Lack of teaching material Out dated Repeated Lack of in service training teacher reluctant to

accept change Lack of commitment of national philosophy

Reforming the National Curriculum in Pakistan

HIGHLIGHTES:

Each province is responsible for developing the cur-riculum but unfortunately every province show their own supremacy.

The education problem in Pakistan has much to do with the archaic, grossly content found in the cur-riculum of various compulsory subjects. For example, English is littered with syllabus which looks colonial by age, Pakistan Studies is filled with distorted, bi-ased narratives of history and Science subjects have needed a lot of up dates.

A ‘nationalized’ approach towards understanding and achieving course objectives, particularly in view of Pak-istan’s potential strengths and capabilities, is missing.

The Federal Ministry of Education is responsible, for among other things, curriculum development. The National Bu-reau of Curriculum and Textbooks (NBTC) has the mandate to supervise curriculum and textbooks. It approves and maintains certain standards for the curriculum from the primary to higher secondary levels.

One can only hope that the federal government gives se-rious thought to reforming the national curriculum, and also oversee provincial setups at a time when the country is struggling to instill some sense in its citizens.

Some complain towards the text books

The fundamental divide between the Hindus and

Muslims

Eulogizing leaders

Manipulating historical periods

Wars with India

Minorities issues

In the installation of a new curriculum or innovation all experts and teachers should be contribute equally.

There should be a rapid response towards the new curriculum. Collaboration in the implementation of a new curriculum is very

necessary so that a sense of ownership is achieved and success is assured.

Curriculum should be according to the passage of time. Remove all the old information. There is a need for implementation of national education policy

and vision 2030 education goals. Education must be provided in national language and mother tongue. Citizenship must be added as subject from Class 1- university

level with adequate curriculum

Recommendations and solutions

Provincial HEC must be devised and make it opera-tional immediately.

Rural population must be focused with extraordi-nary execution policy or plan to uplift educa-tion with short time of period.
