Abstract

The Federal Government announced its plan to introduce a SNC to bring uniformity to schools in the public and private sectors. According to the government and SNC designers, a single curriculum implemented nationwide was the need of the hour. Currently, Pakistan has different streams of education: the public sector, the private sector and the madrassa system. All of these different systems produce a different end-product. This results in inequality and an uneven playing field. A multiplier effect starts. For example, madrasa students have little or no opportunity to compete with other colleagues with a master’s degree.
