A�er a lag of months due to COVID-19, the schools are reopening and academic ac�vi�es are resuming in a phased manner across Punjab. The school closure caused reduc�on in students contact �me in the current academic year resul�ng in learning loss for children.

I am pleased to announce that School Educa�on Department, Government of Punjab has risen up to meet the challenge caused by the pandemic and subsequent loss of valuable teaching and learning �me in schools. I appreciate Punjab Curriculum and Textbook Board (PCTB) and Quaide-e-Azam Academy for Educa�on Development (QAED) for outlining essen�al components of the curriculum that merited priori�zed a�en�on and, developing comprehensive support package for the teachers. I would also like to acknowledge the assistance by PESP-II for this ini�a�ve by SED.

I earnestly hope that this effort by the School Educa�on Department, Government of the Punjab will significantly help mi�gate the learning loss caused to our children as a result of the COVID -19 outbreak.

Message from theSecretary for School Education Department, Punjab

COVID-19 has been a significant disrup�on for educa�onal ins�tu�ons, educators and learners across public and private schools. The educa�onal ac�vi�es are resuming and the learning loss due to shortened academic year is one of the substan�ve challenges to be overcome.

In this regard, I would like to commend the efforts of Punjab Curriculum and Textbook Board (PCTB) and Quaide-e-Azam Academy for Educa�on Development (QAED) for their efforts to respond to this challenge. PCTB and QAED teams worked �relessly to revisit the curriculum for iden�fying core learning objec�ves for students for the remaining academic year; and outlining a roadmap to mi�gate the loss of learning �me for the students. These are valuable contribu�ons towards bringing the educa�on system back on track across Punjab.

I would also like to thank PESP-II for extending necessary technical assistance in making it happen. I sincerely hope that the efforts of PCTB and QAED will help mi�gate the learning loss caused by school closures, and help streamline the learning trajectory of all the children in public sector schools.

Message from the Managing DirectorPunjab Curriculum & Textbook Board, Lahore

The COVID-19 pandemic caused a serious disrup�on of educa�on ac�vi�es. Being responsive to the challenge and to mi�gate the educa�onal loss PCTB has developed a priori�zed list of academic topics for all grades up to secondary level.
