PREFACE
Curriculum of a subject is said to be the throbbing pulse of a nation. By looking at
the curriculum one can judge the state of intellectual development and the state of
progress of the nation. The world has turned into a global village; new ideas and
information are pouring in like a stream. It is, therefore, imperative to update our
curricula regularly by introducing the recent developments in the relevant fields of
knowledge.
In exercise of the powers conferred by sub-section (1) of section 3 of the Federal
Supervision of Curricula Textbooks and Maintenance of Standards of Education Act
1976, the Federal Government vide notification No. D773/76-JEA (cur.), dated
December 4th 1976, appointed the University Grants Commission as the competent
authority to look after the curriculum revision work beyond class XII at the bachelor
level and onwards to all degrees, certificates and diplomas awarded by degree
colleges, universities and other institutions of higher education.
In pursuance of the above decisions and directives, the Higher Education
Commission (HEC) is continually performing curriculum revision in collaboration
with universities. According to the decision of the special meeting of ViceChancellor’s Committee, the curriculum of a subject must be reviewed after every 3
years.
A committee of experts comprising of conveners from the National Curriculum
Revision of HEC in Basic, Applied Social Sciences and Engineering disciplines met
in April 2007 and developed a unified template to standardize degree programs in
the country to bring the national curriculum at par with international standards, and
to fulfill the needs of the local industries. It also aimed to give a basic, broad based
knowledge to the students to ensure the quality of education. The new Bachelor
(BS) degree shall be of 4 years duration, and will require the completion of 130-136
credit hours. For those social sciences and basic sciences degrees, 63.50% of the
curriculum will consist of discipline specific courses, and 36.50% will consist of
compulsory courses and general courses offered through other departments.
For the purpose of curriculum revision various committees are constituted at the
national level, comprising of senior teachers nominated by universities, degree
awarding institutions, R&D organizations, respective accreditation councils and
stake holders. The National Curriculum Revision Committee for Social Work in a
meeting held on May 18-20, 2009 at HEC Regional Centre, Karachi in continuation
of preliminary meeting held on February 23, 2009 at HEC Regional Center, Lahore,
revised the curriculum in light of the unified template. The revised draft curriculum
is being circulated for implementation in the concerned institutions.

RECOMMENDATIONS OF NATIONAL CURRICULUM REVISION
COMMITTEE
BS SOCIAL WORK FOUR YEAR PROGRAM
To make the four years BS Social Work programme of Study more effective
its is necessary that infrastructure at university level. Should be developed
according to the need of social work profession and department, such as
faculty development, furniture, integrated time task, lecture rooms, seminar
library, equipment supporting staff for official work and examination
ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT
Computer lab for student, laptops for faculty, to meet the need of research
thesis project. It is necessary that a computer lab with the better network
facilities must be established in all social work departments so that student
and faculty may feel comfort. All the faculty members should be provided
laptop in conducting their research work. Teaching add over head projector
and multimedia should also be provided.
SOCIAL WORK AT INTERMEDIATE/GRADUATE LEVEL
The committee also recommended that social work subject should be
introduced at intermediate level, so that the students who are interested in
BS social work programme of study must come with sound background
knowledge, about social work. I will also help the students in making their
decision in selecting BS Social work program of study like other program.
The committee recommends that HEC will take an iniative to direct the
provincial education departments to introduce the subject at intermediate
level.
In NWFP province the social work is not offered at graduate level. The social
work should be offered at graduate level so that the students come with
sound knowledge of social work for post graduate. In other parts of the
country only few Colleges are offering social work at graduate level. This
should be extended in all colleges like other discipline
94
FIELD WORK
Field work is an integral part of the social work training and programme of
study. Without its proper incorporation, the knowledge and skills oriented
objective will go unrealized. All the social work departments of the
universities are therefore; required to put the students in the filed work
practice per week. They need proper supervision and guidance. The faculty
should visit respective social welfare agencies.
TRANSPORT
To make the field work training more effective the proper and permanent
transports is very essential. The social work departments of the universities
are lacking transport facilities without transport the supervision and guidance
of field work out sights of the rural areas agencies of the students. At least
two vehicles (vans) should be provided to every social work department on
priority basis.
FACULTY DEVELOPMENT
To enhance the skills of faculty and orient them with new development in the
sector of social welfare.
The University should arrange the special training in Pakistan and abroad for
faculty of social.
EXCHANGE VISIT OF FACULTY AND STUDENTS
Keeping in view the requirement of curriculum and society the exchange visit
programme of faculty and students should be arrange on regular basis.
In addition to the regular field placement quite a number of agencies in
different field are not available in most of the area. It is felt that visit of such
agencies is of great importance for the professional development of student
and faculty. The NCRC recommended that exchange visit of the faculty and
students should be arranged for a period of one to two weeks. The respective
university should arranged finance for the same.
95

WORK
The present democratic government is keen in the development of basic
human sciences and prospect of the society through different need fare
programs services of social workers can be used as a catalog for this
purpose.
It is therefore strongly recommended that national body titled. Pakistan
national council of professional social workers should be constituted on the
pattern of medical, engineering and bar council. It would not be out of place
to mention here that is body did not exist but it is still dormant and to
revitalization graduate diploma / in services training. No GO or NGOs should
be entertained any unregistered candidate for the job.
The committee felt that due to sapid development and change of the world
scenario. The postgraduate diploma and in service training program should
be introduced. The committee recommends that at initially in the field of
community development, human rights, Human Resource, Management,
local government, drug abuse child rights, and women in development

serving in the field of social welfare are lacking professional social worker so
far at initial stage in school, local bodies corporation.
