Murad Raas Aims Action Against Aitchison Over SNC

In the latest development, Punjab Education Minister Murad Raas has warned the Aitchison College for not implementing the guidelines of the Single National Curriculum (SNC).

Previously, the province implemented SNC in all public and private schools and madrasas on August 2 to develop the education system on a uniform line but the college seems to disobey it.

Aitchison college has issued books to students from grades 1 to 5 and Punjab Curriculum and Textbook Board (PCTB) has taken notice of it.

Taking to his Twitter handle, Punjab Education Minister Murad Raas posted the letter sent to Aitchison College.

“It is to apprise you that the PCTB reviews and issues NOCs to the books after due process not on the request of an educational institution (school/college), but on the request of book developer (person/agency/private publisher) who apply for the same”, reads the letter.

He said that there will be “zero exemptions” as far as implementing SNC guidelines is concerned.
