The Federal Ministry of Education is responsible for curriculum development in Pakistan. The process begins with the formation of a national curriculum committee by the Federal Curriculum Wing. This committee prepares a preliminary national curriculum draft which is then sent to provincial bureaus of curriculum and other agencies. The provincial bureaus then form their own provincial curriculums. The Federal Curriculum Wing consolidates feedback and finalizes the National Curricula. Textbooks are then published by provincial textbook boards and the curriculum is implemented nationwide.
