Capacity Building Workshop for Gojri Language Curriculum Developers in Muzaffarabad

Muzaffarabad, AJK — The Forum for Language Initiatives (FLI) organized a Capacity Building Workshop for Gojri Language Curriculum Developers and Reviewers from December 29, 2025 to January 2, 2026. The event brought together 15 Gojri reviewers, including teachers, linguists, and educationists, to strengthen curriculum development in light of the recent inclusion of Gojri in the educational framework of Azad Jammu & Kashmir.

Gojri, spoken widely across northern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Kashmir, and adjoining regions, has long been in written use. However, experts emphasized that further work is needed to standardize its orthography. Participants suggested that in future phases, representatives from Swat, Dir, Shangla, and Buner should also be included to broaden the scope of engagement.

This initiative marks a significant step toward preserving and promoting Gojri language and culture, ensuring its dignified representation in education and literature.
