Report of Supreme Court-Constituted One-Man Commission on National Curriculum: An Analytical Study in Islamic Context

الملخص

The Pakistani government's introduction of the Single National Curriculum (SNC) marks a significant step towards standardizing education across diverse socio-economic groups. Launched in 2021 after extensive consultations, the SNC aims to provide equitable educational opportunities nationwide. However, its implementation has sparked debates regarding its implications for minority rights, particularly concerning the inclusion of Islamic content in textbooks. In response to these concerns, the Supreme Court of Pakistan established the One-Man Commission on Minority Issues, which recommended limiting Islamic material to the subject of Islamiat. This study examines the socio-legal implications of these recommendations, highlighting their potential impact on civil liberties and minority rights as enshrined in the Pakistani Constitution.
