Karachi
March 15, 2021
Unscientific approach of the syllabus and controlled curriculum have adverse effects on society, due to which students do not acquire the required knowledge to compete in the modern world.
The federal government wants to impose religious studies on students as part of the single national curriculum, after which students of madrasas and schools will be studying the same books. Inaccurate history is being taught at schools, and warriors are being glorified instead of local heroes who served humanity.
These views were expressed on the second day of the three-day Sindh Literature Festival during a session titled ‘Hum Bachchon Ko Kya Parha Rahay Hain’ (What we have been teaching children). It was moderated by the Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto Institute of Science & Technology’s Faculty of Social Sciences Dean Prof Dr Riaz Ahmed Shaikh.
