To create a complete human being would require imparting knowledge and information pertaining to different aspects of the human knowledge pool.
Realization of this goal requires two steps. The first would include categorization of fields of knowledge and information. The second would be a selection of these fields which are deemed necessary for a complete education.
A very important decision in the formulation of a curriculum and course materials is the selection of subjects. Keeping this in mind, the following subject areas have been identified as necessary for the development of a complete person. A detailed list of subjects identified within these Subject Areas is given as well. All of these subjects will be taught to students during their education, either for some years or throughout their education.
| Tag | Subject Area | Area Description | Subjects |
| A | Languages | Media of social communication, artistic expression and documentation of knowledge. | English, Urdu, French, Persian and Literature |
| B | Classics | Ancient knowledge, subjects and texts that will give insight into timeless nature of mankind. | Philosophy, Classics, Debating |
| C | Humanities | Study of the human condition and experience and social lives of individuals and communities. | History, Geography, Comparative Religion, Psychology, Sociology, Economics, Politics, Civics |
| D | Arts | Creativity and genius used to convey ideas, emotions and aesthetically pleasing forms. | Fine Arts, Sculpture, Design, Music, Theatre, Dance |
| E | Sciences | Systematic knowledge gained through research, experimentation and the scientific method. | Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Earth Sciences, Space Sciences |
| F | Technology | Usage and knowledge of tools and crafts that is required to conduct tasks and activities. | Ancient Technology, Medieval Technology, Modern Technology, Future Technology, Annual Project |

This is a personal project that I have taken up as a challenge.
This project entails the development of a complete schooling curriculum for Pakistani students.
One might ask why; the answer would be the following story. The other day my cousin was over for afternoon tea and spicy health destroying tid bits. I was playing with her nineteen month old son when I started thinking about how the child is so clean and impressionable right now. I started thinking about what my educating responsibility as an uncle was. And going further, what was the responsibility that falls on the shoulders of the parents and the teachers and the education system? How do we educate this young boy to help him on the eternally human journey towards the achievement of perfection. That is when I started thinking about the topic of education and teaching.
Human civilization is in a continuous state of development. There have been different stages or states of technological, sociological and psychological development of the human civilization. Millions upon billions of human being have contributed to the great human journey. This journey that has taken hunter / gatherers from the plains of Africa to technically advanced urban dwellers who travel to the moon. This is just the technological aspect of the journey. There are many different aspects and there are many different ways in which people are making a difference to the level of sophistication achieved by human civilization. We, the people of today, are great and powerful, because we stand on the shoulders of giants.
And we must ensure that the generations to come also stand on high and mighty shoulders, that we will help to build today.
How does one ensure that the coming generations will be able to utilize all the aspects of modern human civilization to the highest level? Through proper education. Not just in the understanding of the civilization and its knowledge but also in the development of responsibility and aspiration amongst the education.
The flame has be brought by many hands to ours, we must pass it on, and give instructions that it must be kept aflame and passed on with a greater light and a greater meaning.
This here is a minor contribution in this effort. It is a schooling curriculum for three years of pre school and twelve years of primary, middle and high school.
