Abstract
An educational institution has a significant role in society. For children's schooling, a school, its environment, teachers and curriculum hold a valuable position. Pre, Primary and secondary levels of school curriculums, co-curricular and extra-curricular activities are more valuable in one’s conceptual growth. In Pakistan, multi types of curriculums are being taught in different educational institutions. Some institutions are under state supervision and on the private level, some are under international education systems, some educational institutions are under religious sects, some schools have mixed type of curriculum; religious and international. All these institutions, train their students according to their educational aims and goals. In a single society, multi types of curriculums and objectives mean the preparation of students having different schoolings, mental approaches and different educational destinations. Their preferences, social directions, heroes, struggles, activities and even cultural norms (materialistic and non-materialistic) become different. So there is a need to highlight the impacts of different schoolings by different educational institutions in Pakistan. The main objective of this study is to elaborate on the cause of social stratification due to different educational curricular activities and schoolings. The research methodology of this paper was qualitative and views of some teachers and experts were quoted at the end.
