ISLAMABAD—The Federal Ministry for Education has decided to constitute a high level National Consultative Council (NCC) for development of curriculum. The basic responsibility of the proposed NCC will be provision of appropriate and modern techniques to develop a world-class curriculum by the Education Ministry.
The prevalent curriculum is not fulfilling our socio-economic needs. Moreover, the current Curriculum is lacking in standards when compared with the international standards. The government wishes to make our curricula based on latest available sources of knowledge enabling our students to cope up with the international standard and creating among them the power of innovation.
In order to fulfill this dream the Ministry of Education has decided to constitute " National Consultative Council for Development of Curriculum." This Council will comprise of leading and prominent educationalists. Furthermore, it will keep a vigilant eye on the preparation and standards of the curriculum. Various expert/subject committees will also be set up under this council. The Ministry of Education has invited application from eminent scholars, educationalists and education related researchers to become a part of the NCC.
The Ministry will not be hiring experts as all the paid services of this council will be honorary and no remuneration package will be paid to these experts. The council will work for the preparation of curriculum for schools, colleges and technical institutions.
