Experts’ Opinion

Education experts say this is a positive step for Sindh’s students. It will give them wider opportunities to select courses that match their future careers instead of being limited to only two streams. The changes also bring Pakistan closer to global education standards.

Will Other Provinces Follow?

This move by Sindh has raised a key question: Will other provincial boards like Punjab and KPK also introduce similar subject groups? If these reforms spread nationwide, Pakistan’s secondary education system could enter a new era, giving students across the country equal opportunities.
