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

Correct answer: Ministry of Education. The federal Ministry of Education (through its curriculum wing and national curriculum bodies) is responsible for curriculum development and standards at the national level, with provinces handling their own curricula after the 18th Amendment.

• National Assembly of Pakistan: The National Assembly makes laws and does not develop curricula.
• Pakistan Educational Research Council (PERC): PERC is not the body responsible for national curriculum development and standards.
• Higher Education Commission (HEC): HEC is responsible for higher education, not school curriculum.
