Abstract
This study highlights some serious concerns regarding damage caused to national,
social, cultural and religious identity by the so-called advanced curricula adopted
and implemented in the private schools. The oxford English books of grade five, six
and seven are taken as sample of study. The method of content analysis has been used
to find out the themes, expressions and lexical items that are foreign to our culture,
religion and national interests. The study exposes that the indigenous moral and
ethical values of the country are in jeopardy by the content selected to teach English
as a language and as a subject. The young minds are unable to differentiate our
values from foreign values and are consequently adapting themselves to foreign
norms and traditions. This study urges the dire need of designing unified curriculum
at least at school levels. The curriculum must be developed on the basis of moral and
religious values.
