One system of Education for all, in terms of curriculum, medium of instruction and a common platform of assessment so that all children have a fair and equal opportunity to receive high quality education. Single National Curriculum is a step in that direction.

The 2006 policy had integrated the subject of Islamiat with General Knowledge up to grade 2 and was taught as a separate subject from Grade 3 onwards. In comparison, the SNC introduces Islamiat from grade 1 as a separate subject up to grade 12.

In contrast with the previous curriculum, the SNC has replaced Ethics with a new subject ‘Religious Education ’from grade 1 onwards for five minority groups of Pakistan.

Furthermore, the content of the SNC for Maths and Science has been aligned to the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) content framework.

The new curriculum will be implemented across the board in all schools of Pakistan including public and private sectors as well as madrassas.
