The Pashto language is a core subject within the Afghan primary school curriculum, particularly in regions where Pashto is the dominant language. Primary education in Afghanistan spans six years (grades 1-6). While a precise syllabus document for Primary 2 Pashto remains elusive, the available information suggests that the curriculum emphasizes foundational language skills. In Grade 1, students are introduced to the Pashto alphabet and basic reading and writing skills. This foundation is likely built upon in Primary 2 (Grade 2), with increased complexity in reading comprehension, writing, and potentially grammar. Pashto instruction often occurs alongside Dari, the other official language of Afghanistan. Other subjects in the primary curriculum include mathematics, natural sciences, Islamic studies, and sometimes art and physical education. Several organizations offer online resources and textbooks for Pashto language learning, including Libtoon ( and the mEducation Alliance ( Research indicates that Afghan primary school textbooks, including those for Pashto, have been influenced by various factors over time, including religious and political ideologies. |
