"A recent examination of school textbooks in Pakistan has uncovered that problematic content persists in the curriculum, leading to the marginalization of religious minorities from the nation’s social fabric and historical narrative. Conducted by the Lahore-based research and advocacy group Center for Social Justice (CSJ), the study, titled “What Are We Teaching at School?”, evaluated 145 textbooks across mandatory subjects for Grades 1 to 10. The Evangelical Christian Daily International reviewed and praised the report."
