ISLAMABAD: As Pakistan prepares to implement the Single National Curriculum (SNC) for its around 25 million children in August this year, many perennial issues such as development of books, supplementary materials, uncertainty and chaos loom large in the minds of parents, educationists and executing authorities.
Punjab is the first province which embraced an uproar of parents, private publishers, printers, designers and some other stakeholders after it was set to implement the SNC from Grade-I to Grade-V in the first phase this year (2020). The federal government wanted one system of curriculum for all the children to have an equal opportunity for quality education in the light of emerging international trends and local aspirations in three different phases (2021-23). Sindh, Balochistan and Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa are not ready to implement this SNC by this year.
