Determining what should be the Social Studies curriculum in an elementary school is an important decision because the consequences of what is selected has a direct bearing on the scope and sequence of the content and on how it is enacted in the classroom. Usually, the main thrust of Social Studies as a school subject is to make the children understand and comprehend values that are quintessential for the well being of the individual, the society and the country. Therefore, it has important implications for teachers, parents and the community. In Pakistan the responsibility for planning and designing national curriculum rests with the educational bureaucracy, and the general perception is that the national curriculum concerning Social Studies seems to reflect the priorities and goals of the state. This reflective paper explores how the Social Studies curriculum is influenced by the stake holders at the state level and emphasizes the need for a progressive curriculum to be visualized and planned by way of its effective implementation in elementary public schools.
