 GENERAL (OVERALL) SCHEME OF STUDIES
(HIGHER SECONDARY STAGE)

1. Secondary Education is to be regarded as a continuous process and therefore the

objectives and purposes already laid down for the secondary stage will apply equally to
the Higher Secondary Stage. The pupil is now almost an adult and is passing through the
latest and perhaps the most critical period of adolescence. He is an adult physique but
lacks the sound judgment and stability of an adult. He wants to be free and useful to
himself and to the society, but he is likely misuse his freedom without wise guidance.
The guidance has to be given sympathetically and unobtrusively so that sense of his
importance is not injured and he moves on with confidence and self-reliance to the
responsibilities of an adult life as a member of some profession or to the University for
Further Studies.
2. The Higher Secondary Stage, therefore, constitutes the last step in general education and
its objectives must be terminal if pupils are to assume the responsibilities of an adult. To
meet the requirements of this stage, the number of compulsory subjects has been reduced
to four Groups of elective subjects have been constituted for specific purpose so as to
give this stage of education a pre vocational character. The total number of subjects to be
studied has been reduced to the minimum so as to make the training as thorough to them
as possible. Emphasis is led more on the formation of critical judgment than on the
acquisition of information: on the development of character through individual self-effort
than on the control of the teacher and on the understanding of social relationship by Co-
operative personal associations. Education given, on these lines may be expected to
produce young men and women who will have clear concepts of fundamental moral and
spiritual values; and be imbued with a spirit of co-operation, self-sacrifice and patriotism.
3. Although the Curriculum and Syllabi constitute a continuous and integrated whole for
the Higher Secondary Stage, the public examination will be held in two parts. One Part of
the Examination will be taken in Class XI (the result of which will remain intact for a
period of 2 years) and the Second Part at the end of Class XII. A failure of Part. II
including failing papers of Part I) will have three more consecutive chances to clear the
failing papers i.e. the following Supplementary, Annual and its Supplementary. However,
if a candidate does not avail any of the 3 chances, he shall forego his right to clear failing
papers within the given chances and will be required to appear again in all papers of
Theory and Practical pertaining to Part 1 & Il Examinations. Success in the Examination
will be determined by the student's achievement in both parts taken together (which are
integral parts of a whole).
4. A student not satisfied with the result of Part 1 Examination, may repeat all the papers of
Part 1 Examination along with the papers of Part Il examination or may repeat only Part I
Papers after obtaining permission from the Board
5. The Registration of Private Candidates and Enrolment of Regular Candidates shall expire
after three years from the date of Registration/Enrolment whether they appear or not after
allotment of Registration/Enrolment Number. Fresh Registration/Enrolment will be
required after 3 years.
 6. The Certificates issued by the Board of Intermediate Education will be supplemented by
the Certificates issued by the Heads of Institutions (in respect of Regular Students only)
based on a record of progress in studies, behavior, health, group activities and traits of
character. Such a record shall be made available when a student leaves.
7. The week will consist of 40 to 42 periods of 40 to 45 minutes each varying with the
nature of subjects taken by the pupil. Certain subjects, because of the Practical will need
more time.

2- SCHEME OF STUDIES FOR THE HIGHER

SECONDARY CERTIFICATE EXAMINATION, PART 1
2001 AND ONWARDS
There will be two compulsory subjects 1.e., Urdu and English having one paper each. In case of
Urdu students who had Sindhi or Gujrati as their medium of instruction may offer the
compulsory paper of Sindhi or Gujrati carrying 100 marks in lieu of Urdu compulsory Paper II.
Foreign Students shall have the option to offer History and Culture of Pakistan in place of Urdu
Compulsory Paper I in addition to above compulsory subjects, there shall also be one additional
compulsory subject of Islamic Education carrying 50 marks. Besides, Three Elective Subjects
will be taken from the Section (sub-groups) directed towards the realisation of specific ends as
pre-vocational training for different professions or preparation for particular types of University
Courses
Physical Education and Manual Work being non-examination subjects will be compulsory for all
Regular Students.

3- MINIMUM PASS MARKS AND MARKS FOR BEING

PLACED IN DIFFERENT GRADES AT THE HIGHER
SECONDARY CERTIFICATE EXAMINATION
1. Minimum Pass Marks :
(a) In subjects which have one paper of theory only, a candidate shall have to obtain 33%
marks of the total marks of that papers.
(b) In subjects which have two papers of theory, a candidate shall have to obtain 33% of
the total marks of the two papers taken together but if a candidate fails to obtain 33%
marks in any paper/subject of the Part 1 Examination, he or she shall also have to
appear in that paper also with the paper of Part II unless specially exempted on written
request.
(c) Candidates appearing in Urdu Paper I and in Sindhi or Gujrati in lieu of Urdu Paper I
shall have to obtain 33% marks in both Urdu Paper I and Sindhi or Gujrati separately.
(d) In subjects which have Practical a candidate shall have to obtain 33% marks in both
Theory and Practical separately. Theory and Practicals are separate passing heads at the
H.S.C. Stage.
(e) ) To qualify for the Higher Secondary Certificate Examination, a candidate shall have
to pass in all the Compulsory and Elective Subjects including Practicals, if any.
 ENGLISH (Compulsory) NORMAL COURSE

(Two Papers of 100 Marks each)

The pupils should enter this stage with the active vocabulary of 1000 to 2500 words. This is
sufficient for most of the needs of everyday life, and sufficient for pupils to tackle Standard
English prose within a short time .It has been claimed that about 80% of swift‘s vocabulary and
15% of Stevenson‘s lie within a 3,000 vocabulary range.

Students should also, if they have been taught efficiently, have a mastery of the 250-300 basic
structures, enough for them to communicate without undue difficulty both orally and in writing.

In the teaching of English in Pakistan our Schools have in the past tried to run before they could
walk. A real grasp and appreciation of literature can be based only on a sound knowledge of
language. We introduced literature and often difficult literature too early.

The following is broad indication of what should attempt at the Higher Secondary Stage:-

1. Spoken English:-The Committee recognizes the great importance of such remedial work
including stress; rhythm and intonation drills , as may be necessary .The standard of
English envisaged in the modern conversational English of the type exemplified in W.
Standard Allen‘s Living English Structure(Longmans).
2. Written English:-
(1) Composition on more advanced themes than at the Secondary level.(Logical
arrangement, paragraphing, balance are as important as correct English).Plain style to
be encouraged.
(2) Precis—passages chosen to be factual non –emotive, contemporary English.
(3) Written comprehension.
(4) More advanced letter-writing including letters to newspapers on matters of tropical
interest.
(5) Articles for the School/College Magazine.
(6) Formal exercise and drills on points of special difficulty to Urdu speakers, e.g., the
articles and the anomalous finites.
3. Literature.
Work in Class XI and XII to be based on a course-book aiming at improving the
student‘s mastery of English language. At this stage the following types of books would
be found useful:-
Direct Method English Course: Books IV and V, by E.V. Gaten (Longmans)
supplemented by W. Standard Allen‗s Living English Structure. (Shorter version
produced in Pakistan by the Allies Book Corporation, Karachi).Emphasis is to be laid on
straight forward 20th Century prose in the form of selections including topics from the
 fields of history, geography, civics, current affairs; science and technology as well as
from literature. There is a case of restricting the vocabulary to the 5,000 words limit,
though this is not essential if the selections are made in full awareness of the desirability
of avoiding difficult English.
Modern prose one-act plays of intrinsic interest and providing to be studied for language
and content rather than style. If the right choice is made there should be no need to
differentiate in prose and play, between the needs of pre-Arts, pre-science, pre-
Commerce, pre-Medical and pre-Engineering students.
4. Poetry.
Chiefly short poems of a lyrical and narrative nature; some selections from longer
poems, including twentieth-century poetry, but excluding poems offering any serious
difficulty in language.
The following would merely indicate the academic standard:
(1) A novel, such as the Under the Greenwood Tree, by Thomas Hardy.
(2) A play or Plays; e.g. Two short Plays, The Monkeys‘Paw-W.W.Jacobs; The Dumb
Wife of Cheapside-A. Duke).
(3) A selection of essays, such as On the Air; An Anthology of the spoken Words,
chosen by R.C.Goffin, (O.U.P).
(4) A selection of poems; about 20 poems to be selected, such as the following pieces
from Twentieth Century Poems edited by Mr.Wollmao (Harrap, 1954).
―The Castle‖ by Edwin Munir.
―The Stone‖ by Wilfrid Gibson.

 URDU COMPULSORY NORMAL COURSE

(Two Papers of 100 Marks each)

Objectives.

1. To teach Urdu as a living and growing language.

2. To develop competence in clear, concise, effective and correct expression, both oral and
written.
3. To encourage insight into the need for precision, grace, clarity and integrity in thinking,
writing and speaking.
4. To enlarge the vocabulary and encourage discrimination in the selection of words and
phrases.
5. To inculcate in the pupils some feeling for style in writing and speaking and develop
individuality of expression.
6. To encourage pupils to responsibility for improving their own oral and written
expression.
7. To encourage appreciation of the role of language in fostering good human relations.
8. To take delight in reading good literature.

Scope and Attainment.

The aim of education at the higher Secondary Stage is a dual one; it is terminal for some
students and preparation for University education in the case of others.

The better student has to be sufficiently equipped to receive and benefit from the
broad-based instructions that would be imported to him under the new scheme. In the teaching of
language particular stress has to be laid on training him to express himself with precision and
grace. He should also be made familiar with different literary forms so as to facilitate his
understanding at the University level and also to develop his critical faculty.

The composition should now assume the form of the essay and the student should be trained to
write in the form of brief dissertations on subjects within the scope of his knowledge and
capacity. He should be acquainted with the importance of unity, balance and coherence in easy-
writing

Translation exercises act as a restraint on the general tendency among students to indulge in
loose writing. Further practice in this should be given as an aid to accuracy of expression.

In the teaching of Urdu at the advanced level the student should also be introduced to the
rudiments of criticism so as to enable him to appreciate literature and discover and enjoy the
intrinsic beauty of literary composition .In the teaching of poetry the students should be made
conversant with some of the more common figures of speech. The scope of teaching should
include an important age, and should be restricted to the most important literacy figures of the
‫‪age. For the translational period the objectives set forth in this paragraph will be given effect to‬‬
