13 Apr Pakistan: Sindh High Court Requires Human Rights in School Textbooks
The Sindh High Court (SHC) has required the Sindh Provincial Chief Secretary and the Education and Literacy Department Secretary to explain why they have not complied with the court’s order to include the fundamental human rights in textbooks up to intermediate. The action was in response to a petition filed by Advocate Zubair Ali Khaskheli. His lawyer argued that, “the government should make efforts to bring harmony in society, which was the need of the time. For this purpose, human rights education should be made part of the school syllabus, as has been done in Nepal, he had proposed in the petition.”
