Hard to comment when people cannot distinguish between basic terms such as Qirat, Nazira and Hifz. The claim that SNC mandates Hifz of entire Quran by Grade 5 is incorrect. Unfor, fixation on this topic alone prevented discussion of anything else, within or outside Islamiyat.

Question: We would like to offer Ms. Fatima Razzaq an advisory role on matters of gender and religious inclusion in the SNC, particularly as we update textbooks from Year 1. Will you accept @FatimaRazzaq20 ?

“ہمارے ہاں تعلیمی سال کا آغاز غلط وقت پر کیا جاتا ہے۔ اور اس کا بڑا نقصان یہ کہ بچہ اوائل عمری سے ہی ”چھوٹی موٹی کرپشن“ سیکھنے لگتا ہے۔ جھوٹ بولنا سیکھتا ہے۔ کام کو ٹالنا سیکھتا ہے۔ اور یہ سب آگے چل کر بچے کی شخصیت پر کتنا منفی اثر ڈالتے ہیں۔” .Excellent article & recommendations

تاریخ کا مطالعہ بتاتا ہے کہ سیاسی سمجھ بوجھ کا مہنگی اور اعلی یونیورسٹیوں میں حاصل کردہ تعلیم سے کوئی لازمی تعلق نہیںں۔ یہ سمجھنا کہ صرف عظیم اداروں سے فارغ التحصیل افراد ، کمتر تعلیمی مواقع کے حامل عوام پر حکومت کرنے کا حق رکھتے ہیں، محض ایک مفروضہ ہے۔

انیسویں صدی میں طلبا میں ٹیم سپرٹ کے لئے اسکول یونیفارم متعارف کروائے گئے۔ آج یہ کلاس روم میں امیر اور غریب کو ایک جیسا رکھتے ہیں۔ تاہم ، اسکولوں کو یونیفارم ایک سے زیادہ دکانداروں کو بنانے کی اجازت دینی چاھئے ورنہ یہ والدین پر ایک اضافی بوجھ بن جاتے ہیں۔

رٹہ سسٹم کی بنیادی وجہ نصاب سے زیادہ امتحانی نظام ہے۔ اگر امتحان میں بچے کی تصوراتی سوجھ بوجھ سے زیادہ یادداشت کو پرکھا جائے تو رٹہ سسٹم رائج رہے گا۔ یکساں قومی نصاب میں بچوں کی تصوراتی سوجھ بوجھ کو بڑھاوا دینے کے ساتھ ساتھ امتحانی اصلاح پر بھی کام ہو رہا ہے۔

@DanialKn2 @AsadAToor @Shafqat_Mahmood There is a difference between uniform education *curriculum* (what is taught) and uniform education *system* (where it’s taught). Parents should have choice of system; public, private or religious for their kid. Govt is ensuring equal learning standards not eliminating choice.

@MariamChughtai only criticism against your work is that there is some overlap from 45 to 89% in different subjects. I am surprised that the author was expecting a 100% change. So far no technical/real objection on content. Good job.

سات اقلیتی مذاہب کےنصابی معیارات کی تیاری کےلیے NCC کی طرف سے مذہبی تعلیمی نصاب ورکشاپ کا انعقاد کیا گیا۔ یہ کوشش اس بات کو یقینی بنانے کےلیے جاری عمل کا حصہ ہے کہ مختلف مذاہب سے تعلق رکھنے والے بچوں کو اسکول میں اپنی نصابی کتب کے ذریعے ہی اپنے مذہب کا مطالعہ کرنے کا موقع ملے۔

[This is the best part of the debate] PH in his article & in this debate tried to scare off people by likening SNC with Zia's regime curriculum. Dr. Chugtai explained factually it's not the case in fact more radical changes were included by NS in 92 & 98 policies. (4)

اساتذہ اسی طرح پڑھاتے ہیں جیسے ان کو پڑھایا جاتا تھا۔ ایک تباہ حال نظام میں، معلمین کو پہلے والا بھول جانے اور نئے سرے سے بہتر انداز میں درس و تدریس سیکھنے کی ضرورت ہے۔ اس کو وقت، صبر اور محنت درکار ہے۔ پالیسی اصلاحات میں، مستقل ترقی مقصد ہے نہ کہ راتوں رات کمال ہو جانا۔
