  "account": "Punjab is set to implement a new curriculum for primary education, grades 1 through 5, aimed at transforming the way students learn. Punjab's Education Minister, Rana Sikandar Hayat, unveiled the changes, emphasizing a shift away from traditional rote learning methods. The new curriculum will emphasize activity-based learning and practical work, encouraging students to grasp concepts rather than merely memorize facts.\n\nThe curriculum, which covers Classes 1 to 5, will serve as the foundation for new textbooks for primary school students in Punjab. Textbooks for the 2027 academic year will be printed in accordance with the new curriculum after receiving approval from the Chief Minister. Hayat highlighted that the changes will introduce more interactive lessons and encourage students to actively participate in their learning process. This move will effectively end the longstanding rote learning system prevalent in the region.",
