Summary A letter was written to the education ministry in this regard earlier
KARACHI (Dunya News) – Federal government has directed provinces on Saturday to include as much details over Jammu and Kashmir as possible in syllabi of text books in schools and colleges.
The federation has directed provincial governments to highlight Pakistan’s dispute with India over Kashmir valley that the neighbouring state has been occupying for at least seven decades.
A letter was written to the education ministry in this regard earlier.
Chairman of Sindh Text Book Board (STBB) has said that amendments would be made accordingly over Jammu and Kashmir after reviewing the syllabi.
The move has come in after tensions between Pakistan and India escalated in September ahead of Prime Minister (PM) Nawaz Sharif’s visit to New York City to address United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in which he raised the dispute.
Analysts have welcomed the move by the federation terming it a step that was needed against widespread Indian propaganda.
