Board exams for electives begin
Islamabad : Board exams for matriculation and intermediate classes began in Islamabad on Saturday.
The candidates sat the exams while observing social distancing and wearing masks. Strict compliance with SOPs were ensured by invigilators as well.
The government scaled down board exams to elective subjects only. The government and the opposition were at loggerheads over the examinations.
On Friday, opposition members walked out of the National Assembly session after Education Minister Shafqat Mehmood refused to postpone the assessments.
The minister accused the opposition of ‘doing politics on the education of children.’ The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz demanded the government delay the exams. Schools were closed and exams on provincial and national levels had been cancelled last year due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Students were sitting Physics and Islamic History exam in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa on Saturday.
On July 5, matric exams started in Sindh. Inter exams are scheduled to begin on July 26 in the province.
