Education Ministry Plans Major Update to Matric Curriculum

The Education Ministry proposes merging Arts, Science, and Computer Science groups into a unified curriculum for grades IX and X.

This initiative aims to modernize the 77-year-old matric system, aligning it with current educational needs.Last week, Education Ministry officials met with the Textbook Board to discuss the proposal.

Officials agreed that the outdated group system needs a complete overhaul to meet modern demands.The proposal suggests abolishing the group system and adopting a unified curriculum with subjects from all streams.

This unified approach aims to offer students a more well-rounded education, equipping them with diverse skills.

Officials proposed publishing new textbooks to merge the three group syllabi into a single curriculum.This change will streamline education and provide students with a well-rounded learning experience.

A follow-up meeting will be held after Ashura Muharram to refine and discuss the proposal.The meeting will focus on the feasibility and implementation strategy for the curriculum reform.
