Academic modification: JI wants secular material removed from textbooksHe said that during the previous government’s tenure, many surahs from the Holy Quran and many lessons based on religious leaders were removed from the syllabus taught at government schools as well as various private schools. Khan said when the JI formed an alliance with the PTI, the first demand they made was to remove secular content and to add the content that was previously removed. “Unfortunately, we failed to introduce our national language properly,” he said, adding that they recommended an equal education system across the country to teach all subjects in Urdu.
