The new uniform curriculum, drafted by the PTI-led government, will be implemented in schools across Pakistan from April 2021, said Federal Minister for Education Shafqat Mahmood on Friday.

Speaking at a press conference in Islamabad regarding the two-year performance of his ministry, the education minister said the uniform curriculum would be implemented from grade one to five.

“A uniform curriculum could not be introduced in the 72-year history of Pakistan,” he said. “Now it has been developed after consultation with all schools of thought. All madrassas are also being registered whereas work is also underway on the curriculum from grade sixth to eighth.”

Talking about the challenges faced by the educational institutes because of the coronavirus pandemic, the education minister said the institutes would re-open from September 15 if conditions improve.
