Implementation of Standards Based Education in Pakistan

In order to achieve long term sustainable impact on the quality of education and improve student learning outcomes, the Curriculum Wing, Ministry of Education has developed standards and plans to institutionalize a standards-driven system involving content and performance standards, teacher training, learning support materials, and formative and summative assessments.

Through a strategy of direct alignment of national content standards with:

• the new national curriculum
• formative and summative testing
• content pacing guides for teachers
• educational materials design, including but not limited to textbooks
• pre-service and in-service teacher training
• monitoring, mentoring and supervision of teachers
• record-keeping resources (assessment portfolios etc.), and
• lesson planning

Standards will be at the forefront of the Ministry of Education's reform plans. Standards, simply put, enable us to understand what needs to be taught, what needs to be achieved, and provide us with a reference point for the design/development/implementation of many of the other components in the system.
