college as the constituent college of Shaheed Benazir Bhutto Medical University.
Talking to this correspondent head of the team Dr Mohammad Ayub, Professor of

dentistry to start the classes for the first batch of candidates in the college,

Cambridge schools teaching pupils
Karachi: The Sindh government has formed a committee of senior educationists to "delete
anti-democratic material" from the history book being taught in Cambridge
schools that tout dictator General Ziaul Haq as a better leader than Zulfikar
Ali Bhutto. Responding to questions from legislators in the Sindh
Assembly on Wednesday, Senior Education Minister Pir Mazharul Haq said all the
Cambridge schools were following the curriculum prescribed by the Cambridge
System and approved by the federal Ministry of Education. "However, the
provincial government has taken notice of distorting historical facts in the Pak
history book in which the profile of military dictator Ziaul Haq has been showed
better than that of Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto," the minister said. He
said the matter had been taken up with the federal Ministry of Education for
amendments to the Pakistan history book being taught in all 'O' level schools.
However, after the 18th Amendment, the curriculum has become a provincial
subject and the provincial Education Department has set up a committee
comprising Captain Esani, Mazharul Haq Siddiqi, Abdul Wahab, Anwar Zai and other
educationists to change the course. The minister said the curriculum of
the Cambridge schools would be changed in the next academic year, warning that
the licences of those schools would be cancelled that violated the government
approved curriculum. In response to another question, the education
minister said there were around 1,100 non-feasible schools in Sindh, which had
been approved by the previous regime on political grounds. The news
