Punjab govt to revise 11th-class syllabus after student complaints

The Punjab government has announced significant updates to the provincial education curriculum.

Sources said that after revising the syllabus for ninth grade, work will soon begin on reviewing the eleventh-grade curriculum as well, following complaints and feedback from students and teachers.

Earlier this year, new syllabi were introduced for both classes, but the eleventh-grade content was criticized for being overloaded and containing multiple mistakes, leading to a decision for revision.

According to officials, the Punjab Curriculum and Textbook Board (PCTB) has set up special committees to streamline and simplify the material.

Initial proposals for reducing the ninth-grade syllabus have already been finalized, and a formal notification is expected in the first week of November.
