Recommendations of National Curriculum Revision Committee
BS Social Work Four Year Program

To make the four years BS Social Work programme of Study more effective its is necessary that infrastructure at university level. Should be developed according to the need of social work profession and department, such as faculty development, furniture, integrated time task, lecture rooms, seminar library, equipment supporting staff for official work and examination

Electronic equipment

Computer lab for student, laptops for faculty, to meet the need of research thesis project. It is necessary that a computer lab with the better network facilities must be established in all social work departments so that student and faculty may feel comfort. All the faculty members should be provided laptop in conducting their research work. Teaching add over head projector and multimedia should also be provided.

Social work at Intermediate/GRADUATE level

The committee also recommended that social work subject should be introduced at intermediate level, so that the students who are interested in BS social work programme of study must come with sound background knowledge, about social work. I will also help the students in making their decision in selecting BS Social work program of study like other program. The committee recommends that HEC will take an iniative to direct the provincial education departments to introduce the subject at intermediate level.

In NWFP province the social work is not offered at graduate level. The social work should be offered at graduate level so that the students come with sound knowledge of social work for post graduate. In other parts of the country only few Colleges are offering social work at graduate level. This should be extended in all colleges like other discipline

Field work

Field work is an integral part of the social work training and programme of study. Without its proper incorporation, the knowledge and skills oriented objective will go unrealized. All the social work departments of the universities are therefore; required to put the students in the filed work practice per week. They need proper supervision and guidance. The faculty should visit respective social welfare agencies.

Transport

To make the field work training more effective the proper and permanent transports is very essential. The social work departments of the universities are lacking transport facilities without transport the supervision and guidance of field work out sights of the rural areas agencies of the students. At least two vehicles (vans) should be provided to every social work department on priority basis.

FACULTY DEVELOPMENT

To enhance the skills of faculty and orient them with new development in the sector of social welfare.

The University should arrange the special training in Pakistan and abroad for faculty of social.
Exchange visit of faculty and students

Keeping in view the requirement of curriculum and society the exchange visit programme of faculty and students should be arrange on regular basis.

In addition to the regular field placement quite a number of agencies in different field are not available in most of the area. It is felt that visit of such agencies is of great importance for the professional development of student and faculty. The NCRC recommended that exchange visit of the faculty and students should be arranged for a period of one to two weeks. The respective university should arranged finance for the same.

Establishment of national council of PROFESSIONAL social work

The present democratic government is keen in the development of basic human sciences and prospect of the society through different need fare programs services of social workers can be used as a catalog for this purpose.

It is therefore strongly recommended that national body titled. Pakistan national council of professional social workers should be constituted on the pattern of medical, engineering and bar council. It would not be out of place to mention here that is body did not exist but it is still dormant and to revitalization graduate diploma / in services training. No GO or NGOs should be entertained any unregistered candidate for the job.

The committee felt that due to sapid development and change of the world scenario. The postgraduate diploma and in service training program should be introduced. The committee recommends that at initially in the field of community development, human rights, Human Resource, Management, local government, drug abuse child rights, and women in development population welfare etc.

EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES

It has been observed that various government departments and NGOs, serving in the field of social welfare are lacking professional social worker so far at initial stage in school, local bodies corporation.
