Pakistan

The education system is very diverse with several boards of education operating within the country, including the public, private and religious school (Madarsah) boards. Languages of instruction include Urdu, English and, in some areas, regional languages. Students spend approximately 3.5 hours of class time per week each on Science and Math.  Rote learning is common in institutions following public and religious boards and classes are generally lecture based. A large amount of detail is covered under each concept even in lower grades. Education, including for STEM subjects, is often linked to the religion of the state: Islam.

Out of the various textbook boards, we have chosen to showcase textbooks from the Sindh Textbook Board Jamshoro. This is because the links are operational on this website and relatively more material is available.
