The Punjab Schools Education Department has made a significant change by replacing the traditional board exams with an assessment test for students.
According to Punjab Education Minister Rana Sikandar Hayat, this new assessment test is designed to boost academic performance in grades nine and ten, while also strengthening foundational skills from the early years.
The department has announced that the eighth-grade assessment will be organized by PECTA, which will release detailed guidelines for the exam process within the next 20 days.
Initially, this assessment test will be implemented in government schools. For private schools, the board examination will become optional, with the next session scheduled for February or March of the coming year.
