Extracts from Education Policy of Pakistan
(1998-2010)
Curriculum
What is Curriculum? It
is combination of all those elements and sources which are used to achieve the
aims and objectives of education.
Its
main elements are:-
v
Education standards (comprehensive, subject and grade
level standards)
v
Text Books and Helping Books.
v
Practical and Experimental Activities.
v
Co-curricular activities, extra-curricular activities and
sports.
v
All facilities and equipment used as aids for teaching.
v
Evaluation / Examination.
Standards- Standards
setters have adopted the definition of standards in shorthand phraseology- “what students should know and be able to
do”
Comprehensive
Standards. Can
be defined as what students will know or be able to do as a result of our
entire comprehensive educational program and services. These are the qualities
that we strive to bring out in each student. These are the standards which our
Mission Statement strives for and the type of standards our parents would like
to see our students aspire to. While these general standards constitute general
high expectations, they are not specific enough to serve as the basis for
instructional planning or assessment development. Each standard identifies an
important and complex act that requires students to use knowledge from various
subject areas, thinking processes, and communication procedures. They are not
tied to any specific grade level nor to any specific subject area, but rather,
represent student skills, knowledge and characteristics that our Mission
Statement and parents expect from our students. These standards “Line-up” with
our Mission Statement and will provide a rare opportunity to further define our
Mission Statement in regards to students expectations and standards.
Subject
Area Standards- Can be defined as what students will know or
be able to do as result of the entire educational experience in the subject
area, here at School. These are developed from the anticipated educational
experiences the student has encountered in a specific-subject area program from
Kindergarten through Grade 12. We thus define Subject Area Standards
as those which “spell out the subject to learn” throughout their pre-degree
education.
Grade
Level Standards by Subject Area- Specifies what students will know or be
able to do at each grade level in a given subject area. They must be measurable. These standards are developed using the
national standards developed by national professional educational or curriculum
development organizations. These must be achieved during the period laid down
for the purpose.

Assessment / Evaluation
By definition a “Statement of Mission”
is meant to be a clear and concise expression of the schools purpose and
function…….. a bold declaration of what the school will be. It is a powerful
statement meant to pull the school’s curriculum and instruction towards new
heights of excellence and accomplishment. In fact, all curriculum and
instructional decisions should be tested for consistency against the “Statement
of Mission”. It is meant to focus all of the School’s attention and to
concentrate all its energies towards achieving that purpose.
“The mission of Sona Public School Mirpur Mathelo is to ensure that every student
