A recent printing year is not a recent edition
KP's Biology 9 is a 2018 book reprinted for academic year 2025–26; its Pakistan Studies 9 is a 2010-approved book printed for 2024–25. Mirror sites and even board listings routinely present print runs as new editions, which inflates how current a curriculum appears.
A date on a cover is not an edition. KP's Biology 9 is a 2018 book reprinted for academic year 2025–26, and its Pakistan Studies 9 is a 2010-approved book printed for 2024–25 — both of which will appear in a listing as current. Mirror sites, and sometimes board listings themselves, present the print run as the edition. The effect is to make a curriculum look far more recently revised than it is, which is exactly the error the vintage controls in this study exist to catch.
What this rests on
This finding is not a reading of one passage. It is a property of the corpus as a whole, computed from the front matter and approval references of the KP books. There is no single page to quote, which is why none is quoted here.
Boards and confidence
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa high confidence
Confidence reflects the evidence tier this rests on. High means native or English-medium text verified by exact string match; medium means it depends partly on Urdu-medium material read at theme grade, or on an absence. See the method.

Cite this finding
Two citations are appropriate here, not one. The line above cites this finding. If you are quoting the textbook passage itself, cite the book — its full bibliographic record, edition and approval reference is on its own page, linked from each evidence entry above — and say that you found it here.
Challenge this finding
This is a claim about a printed book, so it is checkable, and it should be checked. If the citation is wrong, the edition is misidentified, the passage is quoted unfairly, or the finding does not survive its own evidence, that is worth reporting and it will be acted on whether or not the correction is convenient for the argument. Corrections are logged publicly in the corrections log; this applies fully to the boards themselves.
