The interview schedule was prepared for the collection of data from five subject specialists, experts. The analytic approach was used for the analysis of data. The data was codedinto predetermined categories related to the theme. The results show that the curriculum of Pakistan studies enables the students to acquire and apply the concepts of Pakistan Studies to the problems of the world they live in. The result also provided that the curriculum of Pakistan Studies highlights the importance of national integration, unity and patriotism. There is no proper balance, for instance, most of the subject has been given the orientation of history, while Pakistan Study is not history it is supposed to be a very balanced composition of different subjects.
