Which government body is responsible for curriculum development and educational standards in Pakistan?

The National Curriculum Council (NCC) is the primary body for developing a national curriculum and ensuring educational standards in Pakistan, collaborating with provincial bodies. The Federal Ministry of Education and Professional Training also plays a key role in national policy, standards, and oversight, working with the National Bureau of Curriculum and Textbooks. At the provincial level, each province has its own curriculum center and textbook board that are responsible for implementing the curriculum and developing textbooks according to the national guidelines.
