PUNJAB EDUCATION CURRICULUM TRAINING AND ASSESSMENT AUTHORITY
Transformation, Innovation and Excellence |
PECTAA plays an important role in strengthening the education system of Punjab. The quality of education our children receive today will shape the future of the province. This places a serious responsibility on institutions working in this sector. By reforms in curriculum, teacher training and assessment, the Authority is making steady efforts to raise the standards of learning across Punjab. Our focus remains on fairness and quality with solutions that work in real classroom settings. Government of the Punjab has placed prime priority on betterment of educational opportunities so that children from all backgrounds can benefit.
It is truly an honour to serve at the Punjab Education, Curriculum, Training and Assessment Authority. I look to strengthen the learning outcomes for every child and make the people of Punjab trust our educational system. The combination of curriculum, teacher training and assessment as a mandate of PECTAA provides an exceptional opportunity to bring about consistency, relevance and quality education in Punjab. I would like PECTAA to work towards putting an end to rote learning and help students think critically, be confident and succeed in a fast changing world.Â
I am willing to go at length to support teachers, encourage innovation and make the system transparent. I want to engage the public, specially parents to provide us their valuable input in making the Punjab curriculum robust and in line with international best practices. You will find a live poll at the end of this page. We encourage you to use it to share your suggestions and feedback on the Punjab curriculum.
At the same time, we want to keep students mental well being at the heart of every initiative. PECTAA will welcome close collaboration with teachers, parents, education experts and development partners from all walks to draft a curriculum which is forward looking but at the same time keeps us close to our roots. Together and in accordance with the vision of CM Punjab, PECTAA will make meaningful and long lasting improvements. We are pleased to announce that Punjabi will soon find its way into our schools and hearts of children. Pakistan Zindabad
