Overview / Findings / Method

What divides these curricula most is the decade the book was written in

Four curriculum generations are in print at once. Because Sindh and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa share one, they have converged: in Islamiyat at classes 6 and 7 they run what is effectively the same book — same chapters, same memorisation selections, same four historical figures in the same order — and in four science subjects their chapter lists match down to section headings.

Put KP's Islamiyat 6 beside Sindh's and the resemblance is not thematic, it is structural: the same memorisation trio, the same seerah sequence, the same four historical figures in the same order, with KP's lesson sitting at pp. 51–53. The same holds in four science subjects, where the chapter lists match down to section headings. Neither board copied the other. They are both printing the 2006 national curriculum, and that shared parentage explains more of the distance between boards than the provincial boundary does.

What the books say

Each entry below is the catalogue's own record for that book on that axis, printed as it stands. Pages marked PDF p. are counted from the first page of the scanned file, which is how most of this corpus was read; pages marked printed p. are the folio printed on the paper. The two differ by however many unnumbered cover leaves a volume carries, so the label matters when you go to check.

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Islamiyat 6 (Urdu) observed A6 Othering intensity PDF p. 51 Urdu, read at theme grade — described, not quoted

KP 6 and Sindh 6 Islamiyat are established as the same 2006-curriculum syllabus (track-islamiyat §6.1): same hifz trio, same seerah sequence, same four personalities in the same order. The Khyber lesson sits at pp.51–53. Per RUBRIC rule 5 the shared score is reported once (Sindh 6 Islamiyat = 4); the KP rendering is inferred, not attested, and is bracketed.

Boards and confidence

SindhKhyber 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.

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.
