The Punjab government has introduced new subjects for matriculation, offering students a wider range of options beyond the traditional science and arts streams. Starting this academic year, students can choose from fields such as information technology, technology entrepreneurship, health sciences, agriculture science, and fashion designing.
This initiative aims to modernize the education system, aligning it with international standards and equipping students with skills that meet contemporary needs. The new courses will carry marks ranging from 100 to 150, and students will select their subjects at the beginning of the ninth grade
Punjab Education Minister Rana Sikander Hayat highlighted that these courses are designed to equip students with modern skills and knowledge, marking a step towards aligning the education system with international standards. By offering career-oriented courses, the government aims to bridge the gap between education and the demands of the job market, ensuring that students are better prepared for future challenges
