Consultations between the federal government and provincial authorities are ongoing regarding proposed changes to the curriculum for classes one to five.
Officials have confirmed that no syllabus changes will be implemented in the upcoming academic year, and any revisions will take effect from the 2027–28 academic session.
As part of the discussions, the federal government has offered provinces the option to continue printing their existing syllabi for classes up to grade five.
Some provinces have expressed interest in adopting the federal syllabus with minor amendments, while others are reviewing the British Council syllabus and considering its adoption with modifications.
Education officials said the consultations aim to strike a balance between national education standards and provincial autonomy.
The talks come amid broader discussions on curriculum authority following constitutional amendments.
After the 16th Constitutional Amendment, provinces were granted the power to revise and develop curricula.
However, policymakers are now also examining the possibility of restoring curriculum development authority to the federal government under the 28th Constitutional Amendment framework.
The final decision is expected after consensus is reached between the center and the provinces.
