Abstract

Education is considered a fundamental source of nation-building. Consequently, in order to make certain national cohesion, integration and preservation of the ideological foundation of the State, convinced educational functions have to be the responsibilities of the Federation, the Federal Ministry of Education. These responsibilities includes: curriculum, syllabus, planning, policy and educational standards. The study of the title revolves around the recommendations in the strand of curriculum enhancement stated in the National Education Policy reforms by the government of Pakistan. The area of curriculum remained neglected since 2006, when the educators realized the necessity of developing a wing and reviewing the curriculum. The dilemma of Pakistani government is that, that it fails to implement the refined curriculum at all levels i-e primary, secondary, higher secondary, higher education and at government and private level. The policy aims at the qualitative development of education. Curriculum development was considered as the hub of any educational process.
