Outdated curriculum
FROM THE NEWSPAPER — PUBLISHED ABOUT 13 HOURS AGO
WE are still following the 1970 educational policy. Three
different textbooks are taught in Sindh to students from
KG to Class XII. These are published by the Sindh Textbook
Board and the Oxford University Press.
STB books are taught in the Sindhi medium government
schools while private non-elite English-medium schools
and colleges use books printed by foreign publishers.
In the absence of equality in education, regional disparities
get encouraged. These problems are of utmost concern in
Sindh textbooks. These are mentioned as outdated
editions, less knowledge-oriented, repetition of same
events in different textbooks, narrow teaching approaches
and material used is full of dogmas, bias and demarcation
against fellow citizens.
It is time the education policy was changed and replaced by
the latest academic curriculum.
