Minister for Education and Professional Training Rana Tanveer Hussain announced on Thursday that the "National Curriculum of Pakistan" is the new name of the curriculum reforms in Pakistan.  

He was addressing the closing session of the two-day National Curriculum Workshop organized by the Ministry in collaboration with its development partners to promote an inclusive approach on the national curriculum and its implementation in Islamabad today.

The Minister said that the NCP will be a comprehensive exercise, covering all four aspects of a quality curriculum. This includes Standards, Textbooks, Teachers Trainings, and Examinations reforms.

He said there will be a special focus on Teacher Training, without which reforms are incomplete.

Rana Tanveer Hussain said that it is pertinent to highlight that the true vision of education reforms began in the previous tenure of the PML-N government in 2013 to 2018.   

The Minister said that the establishment of the National Curriculum Council (NCC) Secretariat, with consensus from all provinces, in 2015 was the first major step in this regard.
