Geography, class 6

Punjab and KP are the two boards that publish a separate Geography 6, and they publish incompatible ones. Punjab's six SNC-2022 units are overwhelmingly physical — rocks, mountains, climatic regions, forests, natural disasters, changing earth — with a strong technical strand on GIS, remote sensing, GPS and cartography (pp.19–20) and current climate content attributing the 2022 floods to global warming (p.69). It has no population or demography unit at all, a silence it repeats at class 8. KP's Urdu-medium volume, written by University of Peshawar geographers, has both the things Punjab lacks: a full cartography chapter (contour lines, layer tinting, time zones, pp.26–31) and a full population chapter built on the 2017 census with provincial density tables, age-sex structure, urbanisation and internal migration including 2005 earthquake displacement. The vintage is unmatched — Punjab SNC-2022 against a KP 2006-curriculum reprint — and it cuts against the intuitive reading: the older Urdu book is the one that teaches demography. Both score A1 low, Punjab 1 and KP 2, and both are technocratic in register. The sharp divergence is A6: Punjab 4 against KP 1. Punjab's climatic-regions unit reproduces colonial racial ethnography as present-tense fact — "Wild people with small height lives in Congo. People are uncivilized. People have no interest in religion, education" (p.39), with Amazon peoples "known as Red Indians" (p.40) and Arctic peoples "Eskimos" (p.42) — and then recycles it as an examinable multiple-choice item (p.47). KP's equivalent is a neutral world-city sequence covering Karachi, Mumbai, Shanghai, Tokyo, New York, London and Makkah, though Peshawar itself is never profiled. KP's A2 5 and A7 5 are Urdu-OCR absence claims and are not established. Punjab's newest geography book teaches eleven-year-olds that Congolese people are uncivilised, and then sets it as a multiple-choice question.
