FBISE Old Curriculum 2006 to Be Discontinued After 2027 Exams
FBISE has announced the phased discontinuation of Old Curriculum 2006 and Scheme of Studies 2006. From 2028, all examinations will follow the revised National Curriculum and Scheme of Studies.
The Federal Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education (FBISE), Islamabad has announced an important curriculum transition for SSC and HSSC examinations.
According to an official notification issued on 10 August 2026, FBISE has decided to phase out the Old Curriculum 2006 and Scheme of Studies 2006 (1100 marks) in a structured manner.
The notification confirms that the Second Annual Examination 2027 will be the final examination conducted under the old curriculum and old scheme of studies. After this transition period, the old curriculum will no longer be used for FBISE examinations.
FBISE Old Curriculum Will End After 2027
For many years, FBISE examinations were conducted according to the Curriculum 2006 and Scheme of Studies 2006 (1100 marks).
However, with the implementation of updated educational frameworks, FBISE has now announced a complete shift toward the revised curriculum system.
The official notification states that the old curriculum and scheme will be discontinued after the Second Annual Examination 2027.
This change represents a major transition in Pakistan's examination and curriculum system.
What Will Change From 2028?
Starting from the First Annual Examination 2028 onwards, FBISE examinations will only be conducted according to:
- National Curriculum 2022–23
- Inclusive Scheme of Studies (Revised Version-I), 2024
The notification clearly states that all examinations from 2028 onwards will follow the revised curriculum framework.
This means students appearing under FBISE from 2028 will prepare according to the updated curriculum and assessment structure.
Why Is FBISE Moving Toward the New Curriculum?
Curriculum reforms are introduced to modernize education and align learning outcomes with current educational requirements.
The updated curriculum approach focuses on:
- Better conceptual understanding
- Improved learning outcomes
- Updated subject content
- Modern assessment practices
- Skills-based learning
The transition from the old curriculum to the revised framework aims to provide students with a more relevant and updated educational experience.
Impact on SSC and HSSC Students
This announcement is especially important for:
- SSC students
- HSSC students
- Teachers
- Educational institutions
- Academies preparing FBISE students
Students should identify which curriculum framework applies to their examination session.
Those appearing before the transition period should continue following the applicable FBISE guidelines for their batch.
Students appearing in examinations from 2028 onwards will follow the revised curriculum and scheme of studies.
What About Students Who Studied Under Old Curriculum?
FBISE has also provided guidance for candidates who previously appeared under the old curriculum.
According to the notification, candidates who appeared under Curriculum 2006 and Scheme of Studies 2006 (1100 marks) but choose to reappear under the revised scheme will not lose academic benefits.
Their marks will be converted proportionately where applicable.
This ensures that students are not academically disadvantaged during the transition period.

Schools and colleges should focus on:
