The curriculum in schools will be updated annually, Murad Raas

"We noticed how the private sector has appreciated our books," said Punjab Provincial Minister for School Education Murad Raas Told a Local News Paper.

"As you can see, ancient books were never updated. For the first time, we have books that are constantly updated and will continue to be updated in the future.”

He also stated, “It won't be like that if, once a book has been published and made available, it stays that way for the next ten years. No. Every year, for the first time, the Curriculum Board will update the Punjab Curriculum Textbook Board.

We're going to keep in mind everyone’s perspective. We've done it before and we've made changes along the road. It's a never-ending process. The world is changing at a breakneck speed, and we must keep up. Every religion and sect will be included in the revised text."

We can only interfere in the private school's fee to a certain level, Murad Raas commented in response to the alarming growth in private school costs. Parents who cannot afford to send their children to premium schools have other possibilities.

However, for academies, we are developing a replacement that will be available in the next two to three months. Every student will have access to free online courses and tests."

When we came into power, we were given a broken educational system. If the teacher is qualified, the quality of education will be as well.

So, we concentrated on strengthening instructors and then textbooks, with a concentration on the Single National Curriculum.

We built 15,000 early childhood education classrooms. This had never been attempted before. In schools, we built 1,000 information technology labs and 1,000 scientific labs.

In addition, we added 2,000 classrooms to schools. You will see the results of them in the next five years if we are persistent and dedicated." According to the minister, his ministry is now working on the School Meal Program.

"We're attempting to include as much public-private collaboration as feasible." We have attempted to do so previously, however COVID hindered its deployment. Under this program, the health of 77 percent of children improved, resulting in a 33 percent increase in school attendance.

For this program, I encourage all private schools to collaborate with public schools. This is something that happens all throughout the world. Second, classes on the holy Quran have begun. For this, we've trained 100,000 teachers. Our students have never been taught the holy Quran, including its translation and interpretation.”

Finally, our schools are finally implementing a skills program. Not every child dreams of being a lawyer or a doctor when they grow up. Boys and girls can choose whatever skills lessons they want to take based on their interests through our skills classes. "We've partnered with TEVTA on this," he further added.
