Punjabi is not taught in Punjab, it seems as if the elite of the province was ashamed of their own roots. Go to any big city of Punjab and you will find a very big proportion of people who can’t even speak the language. I don’t think that Pashto is taught in Kp as well, I could be wrong.

I heard they offer Punjabi language at Masters and PhD levels in Universities, but I always think why rich language like Punjabi having poets like Waris Shah and Bulleh Shah not taught at school level?
