  "note": "Approved 6 December 2017 under the Sindh Curriculum 2015, this 196-page volume pairs ancient India and Persia with a genuine civics core and, unusually for the grade, micro-economics with demand and supply curves. A2 1 covers Unit 2, The Constitution and Citizenship (pp.40–63): the 1973 Constitution, separation of powers, Dicey's rule of law, a classification of rights, the UDHR 1948, the CRC 1989, Article 25-A, a nine-step advocacy method, and civil society existing \"to limit and control the power of the state\". A3 2 rather than 1 because the Site in a Bag archaeology exercise teaches evidential underdetermination (pp.179–180) while the ancient content is still delivered as settled narrative. A7 2 is the corpus's only critical gender text: the Gender-inequality section names unequal wages, denied career choice, honour killing and \"male dominating society\" (pp.161–163). Also here: an un-TOC'd child-protection chapter on violence (pp.193–196), explicit climate change (p.80), and Sindh used operationally through the 2010 Tori Bund breach and the 2001 drought. One caution: the raw working notes' \"first province\" free-education claim at p.51 failed verbatim re-checking and should be re-verified before use.",
