Abstract
Pakistan emerged on the map of world in 1947 as an Islamic state on the basis of two nation theory. Islam was the main binding force behind that unprecedented successful struggle. The inherent education system of Pakistan was greatly influenced by British and Indian education system. Since independence, various education policies and plans were formulated to align our education system with our philosophical foundation. During period 1983-1998, population education was integrated in school curriculum in three phases. The main objective of study was to evaluate the objectives of curricula on basis of Islamic philosophy. This study was delimited secondary school curriculum for class 1-10. The researcher used document analysis and expert review. The data obtained were tabulated, analyzed and interpreted statistically. The findings of study revealed that Population education remained a controversial area among curriculum developers. Both proponents and opponents of curriculum presented almost same numbers of Quranic verses and Hadiths. The objectives of curriculum were also evaluated by using Michalis six points’ criteria, which shows that objectives were not stated in behavioral terms. The experts were of the opinion that these controversies may lead to a mental conflict and non-clear statement resulting non achievement of objectives of Population Education.
