Change of syllabus irks students, parents: Students of federal government schools (FGS) and their parents have protested against change in syllabus.
The change in the syllabus of class 5 has caused embarrassment among the students as they have already spent one month studying the old syllabus.
“This is an anti-people act of the government as we all are from low-paid class of employees. We already purchased books for our children at high cost and after one month the decision to change the syllabus has been taken. This will be unbearable for us as we cannot afford to purchase new syllabus with our meager salaries,” said Muhammad Ali, naib qasid in some private organisation.
