SINGLE NATIONAL CURRICULUM:
Single national curriculum is a one system education for all having a unified national curriculum to promote social equality among a nation.Single national curriculum is only for primary level education, it is not applicable to higher studies.
A single national curriculum is a step in the direction to promote social cohesion and national integration.It promotes one system of studies in terms of curriculum, medium of instruction, and a common platform of assessment so that all children have a fair and equal opportunity to receive high quality education.When it is fully implemented, a student will enjoy an equal and fair chance of receiving a good education.
In Pakistan, unfortunately there are 3 types of education systems observed i.e private schooling for rich, public schooling for lower middle class and Madrassas for poors.This extreme level of injustice produces hurdles in the development of a nation.
So far single national curriculum has always been the topic of discussion between political.Before 2010, atleast the same course was been studied through out the country. But after 18th amendment, which guarantees sovereign rights of provinces, it's getting harder to have single national curriculum unfortunately.
This issues must be highlighted in all forums to ensure one system of education for all..
