Intermediate and matriculation examinations considered as a main concern in comparison to other board exams, as claimed by Federal Education Minister Shafqat Mehmood just today.
Posting a couple of tweets, the minister made the announcement that board exams in Pakistan will begin from the mid of June.
“Interprovincial Education Ministers Conference (IPEMC) took place yesterday. It was decided that Board exams would begin after June 15. Intermediate and Matric exams would be given priority so that results can come in before university admissions,” confirmed the minister.
Affiliates of the IPEMC denied the proposal to promote students of classes 9 and 11. Instead they approved the plan to conduct the exams according to the schedule in July.
The minister also claimed that the government will give special importance to exams for classes 12 and 10 and classes 11 and 9 after that.
Just a day ago, he had revealed that intermediate examinations in Pakistan would be conducted in mid June.
“I am very hopeful,” he had said about holding examinations.
“If examinations do not take place then no one will study — and that is why the (O/A- level) exams — that have been postponed — will be conducted in October and November,” he said while talking about Cambridge examinations.
