I know Balochi and Pashto are used as medium of education in Balochistan and KPK. I myself studied in Sindhi Medium Schools. Why they don’t use Punjabi as a medium in Punjab?

I’m not sure whether Punjabi is taught as a language at school level. Here in Sindh we were taught English, Urdu, Sindhi as well as Arabic languages at school level. Recently they were going to introduce Chines language too

Just because you never heard of it does not mean it does not exist!

@Kinzz

I think they do?

Lets see what people from Punjab have to say about this

Right Kinzz, Punjabi curriculam exist and they offer exams for Adib, Alim and Fazil,I know one of friends got his Panjabi Fazil degree or certificate from Punjab University!

@Ali_Syed

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.

Yes you are not right!

@muqawwee123

One of my Pathan friend from Peshawer told that Pashto is the medium of instruction in KP’s schools. He himself used to do poetry in Pashto:)

So we can assume you do not have Punjabi friends..:)****

LAHORE – The pass percentage of inmates in Punjab has significantly decreased with none of the candidates passing in six of the nine examinations, an official document says.
Overall, 14 courses – Primary, Middle, Matriculation, FA, BA, MA, Punjabi Fazil / Urdu Fazil, Adeeb Urdu, Al Lisanul Arabic, Electric Course, Taleem-ul-Quran, Nazra Quran, Hafiz-e-Quran and Tarjamaul Quran – are currently being offered by the Punjab Prisons department to both kinds of inmates – convicts and under-trial.
According to the document, no candidate appeared in Primary, Electric Course, Taleemul Quran, Hafiz-e-Quran and Tarjamaul Quran examinations; while 105 appeared in Middle, 239 in Matriculation, 196 in FA, 81 in BA, 17 in MA, 113 in Punjabi Fazil / Urdu Fazil, 179 in Adeeb Urdu, 276 in Al Lisanul Arabic and 18 in Nazra Quran examinations.
Of a total of 1,224 prisoners-cum-students who took one of these examinations, only 205 of them were declared as successful: 114 in Al Lisanul Arabic, 89 in Middle and two in Nazra Quran examinations, the document adds.
“I was depressed when I came to the jail but my life changed after doing Al Lisanul Arabic course,” says an inmate serving life sentence in the Lahore Central Jail. He believes that his life will be different after release from jail since he could now earn his livelihood by teaching children. Citing the example of a fellow inmate Ayaz Muhammad, who had recently done MA in Urdu, he said jail could change the life of an inmate.

So there you have it Punjabi Classes are taught in the Jails where there is a Captive Audiance! Maybe somewhat similar to the Captive audiance of all Urdu speakers in this thread you think?
What happened to All the Punjabis around here?

Why does it take a Sindhi to stand up for Punjabi Zubaan?:(****
