  • Media Tracking Report: 27 July
    Media Tracking Report 27 July - 13 Aug, 2020 Education in Pakistan Beyond the content: Faisal Bari - DAWN There has been much debate on the issue of the Single National Curriculum (SNC). The SNC’s main aim is to reduce and/or remove class distinctions in Pakistan, bringing Madrassah students in the mainstream. To provide equal quality education access to all, the government should also consider the 20 million five- to 16-year-olds who are out of school. A ‘minimum standards curriculum’ may be more useful in this. Household income and home environment, ability-related factors, school environment, quality of teachers and teaching, books, assessments and other factors need to be considered as well. Ministers decide to reopen schools from September 15 - Pakistan Today Educational institutions across the country will reopen from September 15 and action will be taken against those who violate the decision. This was decided in a meeting of all education ministers, chaired by Federal Minister for Education Shafqat Mahmood. He said that provinces will be responsible for ensuring SOPs that are followed, cautioning schools to follow the procedures laid out by the government. Punjab government issues SOPs for reopening schools - Pakistan Today The Punjab government has issued guidelines for educational institutions, including schools, to follow as well as safeguards for all of the school administration, staff, and students. Among other SOPs, indoor activities and extracurriculars will be banned, it would be mandatory to wear masks and only 50 percent of the total capacity will be used in the buses and only 30 percent will be used for hostel facilities.
