Social Studies (split comparison), class 6

At class 6 the split is not a difference of emphasis but of subject. Sindh's pupils receive one 232-page integrated Social Studies volume built to the Sindh Curriculum 2014/15; Punjab's and KP's receive two books each, History and Geography. What that buys and costs is specific. Sindh's ten units are roughly twelve per cent history and about forty per cent civics and economics: a four-chapter Indus Valley unit, then a four-chapter unit on government, the federal and local levels and elections, then a whole further unit on the media in a democratic society including its "imperfections". It teaches Articles 19 and 19(A) verbatim, civilian control of the armed forces (PAGE 71), protest and sit-ins as legitimate citizen action, and asks pupils to "Identify the problem of woman citizens have in participating in the political process" (p.59) — scoring A2 1 and A3 1, both corpus minima. Punjab's two books cover a world-civilisations survey ending at roughly 661 CE plus a physical-geography volume with GIS and cartography, and contain no civics at all; KP's cover 2500 BC to 1526 plus a geography with full cartography and population chapters. So the Punjabi child gets more history and better mapping skills, the KP child gets the widest chronological sweep and comparative religion, and only the Sindhi child is taught how a government is chosen or how a newspaper can fail. Sindh's costs are equally clear: climate change is absent from its volume, appearing once incidentally at p.130, while both Punjab's and KP's geographies teach it, and it carries no Muslim-rule narrative whatsoever — no bin Qasim, no Delhi Sultanate, no Mughals — the only figure given a biographical paragraph being Charles Darwin. Punjab's split concentrates rather than distributes contested material: its ideology sits almost wholly in History, leaving Geography technocratic. The SNC split gave Punjab's eleven-year-olds a chronological history spine and a modern geography, and it deleted citizenship from the timetable entirely.
