What is the purpose of an astronomy degree? Why should students wish to take such a course? What will they do after graduation? In what way would such a course uniquely differ from a physics degree with a little astronomy tossed in? And given that we are called upon to provide such a course, what syllabus might we teach? These are some of the questions that occurred to me as I was preparing this paper.One obstacle to giving clear answers is that the higher education systems of various countries differ greatly in structure. As one who was trained in one system (U.S.A.) and who teaches in another (U.K.), I am perhaps in a better position than most to appreciate the differences in approach, and to weigh the advantages and shortcomings of each system. But, as Shakespeare’s Dogberry said, “Comparisons are odorous,” and I do not propose to do this! What I describe refers to current practice in the university system of England and Wales, and I will use my own institution’s long-standing astronomy degree as an example.

Course content is a hub of educational activities. The method of teaching and assessment procedure more or less rely on the nature of syllabus. Being core of educational activities great importance is given to course content.  This study was conducted to investigate the opinion of teachers concerning existing syllabus of intermediate level chemistry subject. The data was gathered through questionnaire based on 5 point Likert scale items. Sixty three teachers of chemistry subject were working at Government Degree Colleges (GDCs) and Government Higher Secondary Schools (GHSSs) of district Peshawar. Among sixty three fifty seven teachers were selected randomly as sample of study. The collected data prevail that the implemented syllabus is mostly based on theory, hence in such circumstance the national aim to produce skill generation as per demand of market seem impossible. The condition of practical work and hand on activities is dispiriting in government educational institutes. The psychological and social need of students has been ignored while designing the syllabus. The text book is a mean of imparting pre-set information, it seems failed to provide valuable engaging activities.
