A mistake in a 9th-grade Computer Science textbook in Punjab has caused concern after the term “computer mouse” was wrongly translated as “chooha,” which means rat in Urdu. The error has raised questions about how carefully textbooks are being prepared for students.
In response, the Punjab Curriculum and Textbook Board (PCTB) has taken notice of the issue and has asked the Director of Curriculum and Compliance to submit a detailed report within 24 hours. The Board wants to know how this mistake happened and what steps will be taken to prevent such errors in the future.
Recently, the government introduced changes to the 9th-grade syllabus, giving students the option to study their courses in either Urdu or English. The aim of these changes is to make learning easier and more flexible for students. However, mistakes like this one highlight the importance of reviewing textbooks carefully before they are published.
The authorities have assured that efforts are being made to improve the quality of educational material and to provide students with accurate, simple, and student-friendly content. The goal is to ensure that young learners receive the right knowledge without confusion or errors.
