Annual Exams of Several Boards in Doubt Due to Ban on Appointments

The boards of intermediate and secondary education in six districts of Punjab are currently functioning without permanent chairmen and other top administrative officers.

To temporarily fill this gap, the commissioners in charge have been tasked with overseeing these boards as interim heads.

However, this has left mid-level administration officials concerned about how matriculation examinations in these six districts will be held.

Despite the fact that the matric exams are scheduled to take place in six weeks’ time, the boards of intermediate and secondary education in Sargodha, Gujranwala, Bahawalpur, Dera Ghazi Khan, Multan, and Faisalabad have not had permanent chairmen or secretaries or controllers of examinations for the past eight months.

Moreover, successive governments have failed to appoint regular chairmen and other officials for the boards in question, and the current interim setup has banned appointments and transfers in the province.

The annual matric exams are the biggest of all exams in the province, with nearly two million candidates appearing every year, making the task of those responsible for conducting these exams doubly difficult.

The doubts raised about the conduct of these exams in the six districts whose board has no permanent chairman are a cause for serious concern.

  • Exams for matric punjab should be extended to end of May 2023 because in 2022 classes were stated late due to late exams of Class 9 Punjab board. Students got very less time to cover the syllabus and due to the session started late, and now tentative datesheet for Class 10 is in April, therefore it is difficult for students.

Last year session started in june or july 2022, ( for class 9 pindi board ) and now if board is taking exams in April 2023. It can clearly be seen that 2022-2023 batch session was for only 9 months while normally it is 1 year. This time student’s had less time to cover their syllabus ( class 10 ) —–> After COVID.
