Education Minister Sikandar Hayat has declared that the Punjab Curriculum and Textbook Board (PCTB) will be dissolved. This is part of a big plan to reorganize things. He talked about this plan on Samaa TV in Lahore. The plan is to bring together four different educational groups into one.
This is to make things easier to manage and to make education better. The Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz will lead this effort.
Minister Hayat further explained the reform plan, highlighting the merging of various educational bodies into one. This includes combining the textbook board, Punjab Education Commission, and teacher training institutions into a single organization. He stressed the establishment of a new department directly under the Chief Minister’s supervision, covering all aspects of education.
