According to the permanent secretary, the directive has been given and all schools should simultaneously implement it.
"By the next academic calendar, history will be taught as a standalone subject.What do you think of this development? Kindly drop us a comment and share to your friends!
"It is with immediate implementation. So, definitely for the next academic year everybody will fall in line because we already articulated the curriculum and the examination should be done along those lines," he said.
