Abstract

The purpose of this study is to share, publicise and to identify the problems of end users associated with curriculum change at Federal Government secondary school. The study is descriptive in nature. For data collection two separate questionnaires, i.e., one for teachers and another for students were developed on a 5 point Likert scale. The reliability and validity of the instruments were determined by means of Cronbach alpha and this was found to be reliable for teachers' (0.72) and for the students' questionnaire (0.75). The second method to obtain reliability was through experts' opinion. The sample of the study was randomly selected both for teachers and students of 9th and 10th grade from the Federal schools of Bahawalpur, Multan and Lahore region and this consisted of 720 respondents, of whom 360 were teachers and 360 were students. The data was analysed by two ways, i.e., first mean score and measure of dispersion (standard deviation) were calculated and then an independent sample t-test was applied to assess the difference in views between the two groups.
