Textbook Board has decided to incorporate anti-corruption slogans into the textbooks in the light of the Holy Koran, Hadith and wise sayings to create awareness of the evil of corruption in society, according to sources. They said that some verses of the Holy Koran insisting on the unity among Moslems would also be inscribed on the inner titles of the textbooks for grade-1 to 12th. They said that the KPTBB had taken this decision with the consultation of the National Accountability Bureau and Directorate of Curricula and Teachers Education. The sources said that around 100 messages against corruption had been compiled by the board officials from the Holy Koran, Hadith and wise sayings. A complete verse of Sura-e-Hujrat had been selected in which Almighty Allah insists on the Moslems to be united, they said. The decision would be implemented from the academic year 2015-16 commencing from coming April.
