dc.description.abstract Pakistan, a multicultural country, is likely to become a global economic hub after completion of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor. Therefore, it is imperative that the country’s new generation has an inclusive approach towards cultural diversity and respect for individuality. Recent events of extremism against fellow students at educational institutions make it even more vital to inculcate peace education within the curricula to address issues like intolerance and racism. Primary education is believed to have a lasting and enduring impact on the overall personality of a student. Therefore, this study undertakes content analysis of primary level General Knowledge/Social Studies federal and Punjab textbooks. It calls for more focus on peace and multiculturalism by including areas like disarmament and human rights education, ecological literacy, education for development, and conflict resolution in primary level textbooks. The study also suggests pedagogical modifications by teachers with greater attention on creative and critical thinking. en_US
