Pakistan Studies: A Mistreated Subject at Secondary Level in Pakistan

Pakistan Studies is the integrated, coordinated and systematic area of study that draws upon various social science disciplines such as history, geography, economics, political science and sociology in relation to Pakistan. It is one of the compulsory courses at the secondary school and higher secondary school levels of education. The social science departments of many universities offer it as a degree course and are dedicated to the education and research in Pakistan Studies. In addition, a number of research institutes, national organizations and international organizations are engaged in collaborative teaching, research and exchange activities in this field. Despite being a compulsory subject, it remained unsuccessful in gainibg due improtance by the educational planners, leaders, teachers and students. This book strives to add to the existing literature of Pakistan Studies in highlighting not only the grass-root level challenges, problems and paradoxes attached with the inadequate, less prioritized and substandard quality of writing and teaching-learning, it also provides solution to those problems with ways for future improvements.
