The analysis applies definitions and parameters adopted by UNESCO in Viena (1999) and Seville (2002) which indicate that Media Education means to teach and learn «with»» and «about» media more than «through» media.

In this study the researcher has analysed the secondary school curriculum regarding ethical and moral education in Punjab. In the study, 46 subjects, with 552 lessons, taught at secondary level, have been analysed. The books for these subjects are published by the Punjab Curriculum and Text Book Board (PCTB). The study examines the function of documents as a data source regarding ethical and moral education at secondary level through a self- structured rubric which has been prepared after extensive review of literature and was validated by subject experts. The article takes an evaluative approach with critical evaluation of the textbooks. The study found that the curriculum at the secondary level does not meet the needs of the students for developing sound, moral and ethical values and skills in students due to less emphasis in content, and least effort in training of students for moral and ethical acts.
