English, class 10

The widest spread of any class-10 cell, and the one that most repays reading across. On religious saturation the five boards run from 1 to 4. Sindh's reader is the most secular English book in the entire corpus at any class on any board — 0.3 religious tokens per thousand across 44,245 words — while Balochistan gives a full unit of a language reader to the Prophet's life, complete with the doctrinal formula, at PDF pp. 8–12. KP sits between at 3, the most religiously framed class-10 reader among the rest, carrying a dedicated Masjid of Cordoba passage. On out-group content the direction reverses: Sindh and the Federal Board both return zero out-group tokens across their whole volumes, and KP's Cordoba passage treats a European setting as shared heritage rather than as foreign. Balochistan is the only board here scoring 3, and the reason is precise — its pre-Islamic Arabia unit characterises a historical population as ignorant and cruel, but no contemporary group is characterised anywhere in the book. Assessment is where this cell matters most to the study's argument. Punjab sets 22 open-opinion prompts, more than any single book in the corpus, including “do you think that climate change is our moral responsibility”. The Federal Board sets 21 evaluation and 16 open prompts, the largest combined open demand found anywhere. Sindh sets 20 and 5. Against that, the class-10 books carrying the national narrative set none at all. The openness is real, it is substantial, and it is confined to climate, social media and space travel — which is the whole of the study's finding that openness at matriculation is allocated rather than absent.
