Punjab Textbook Board Bans Intermediate Sociology Book Over Controversial Content

The Punjab Curriculum and Textbook Board (PCTB) took notice of the Intermediate Part-I Sociology book with controversial content and put a ban on its publication.

The banned book “Ainah Emraniyat” published by Khalid Book Depot, has been discarded from the curriculum on account of unethical and immoral content after several educationists raised objections.

According to the educationists, many books are being printed in the market without seeking permission, and NOC and PCBT have failed to put an end to this illegal practice.

Further, they expressed disappointment over the fact that a complaint cell for highlighting objections and complaints regarding the content has not been set up as announced previously.
