English, class 7

Three separately written readers, and the vintage split is Punjab SNC-2022 against Sindh and KP National-Curriculum-2006 reprints. All three carry the Last Sermon of the Prophet, and Punjab and KP both set it at class 7 while Sindh defers it to class 9 — the one shared prose text in the corpus, and the boards do not agree on when it is taught. Punjab and KP both score A1 4: Punjab opens with The Last Sermon of Rasoolullah built out of hadith with Bukhari and Muslim citations and carries Eid-ul-Adha at Unit 7; KP opens with the same sermon and follows with a Golden Age of Islam lesson. Sindh scores 2, with zero religious selections and its only substantial religion passage a pluralist one — Bhambore's "Shiva temple from the Hindu period; and a mosque, with 727 AD written on it" (Unit 5). Militarism is where the boards split hardest: Punjab scores A5 5 for Unit 2, Martyrs of Pakistan, two full martyr biographies with the writing task "Nishan-e-Haider and its significance" (PAGE 27); Sindh and KP both score 1, KP's only armies being Alexander's and the British in its Khyber Pass unit. Civics inverts the expectation. Punjab's strongest civic passage in twelve books is in this reader, not in a social studies volume — "Media is known as the fourth pillar of democracy" (PAGE 126) — giving A2 3, while KP's citizenship lesson introduces protest only as destruction of public buildings and returns zero hits for democracy, vote, constitution or human rights (A2 4). Gender is thin everywhere: Punjab's Samina Khayal Baig and KP's Naseem Hamid are one lesson each, KP's only gender-focused selection in four years. Punjab teaches the Nishan-e-Haider in the English reader; Sindh teaches an eighth-century mosque standing next to a Hindu temple.
