Abstract

Education is the change agent in the human society. It is education which took the human from caves to space. Education does its work through curriculum. Curriculum is so designed that it may enlighten the minds and souls of the students. But curriculum is not designed for only one gender i.e. male, but it is designed and taught to the whole bulk of population. So both the genders are given the same weightage in the curriculum. But, in case of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the scenario is quite different. In its curriculum, female gender has been ignored and it is not granted with its due weightage. It is the need of the day to remove this drawback from the curriculum so that the curriculum of this province may become balanced and more effective.
