The Punjab Education Department has confirmed the annual examination schedule for matric and intermediate students for the 2026 academic year.
Matric exams will begin on March 3, 2026, while intermediate board examinations will start on May 5.
The confirmation came after the department approved the revised admission policy, updated school calendar, and syllabus amendments for 2026. New textbooks, including 29 replacements from class six to matric, are set to be printed in December.
The academic year will start on April 1, 2026, with free textbooks distributed from April 5. The department also noted that Class 8 students will sit for a board-based exam beginning on February 3, reflecting the shift toward standardized assessment.
Punjab’s education sector continues to struggle with rising dropout rates and a growing number of out-of-school children. The province recorded 28 million out-of-school children in 2025, a number projected to pass 30 million in 2026.
Education policy is going in the wrong direction resulting in high dropout rate . No scope for the students of under previleged people . Those people have to take their youngsters on workplace to raise their income to make both ends meet.
And then they say.. CHILD LABOR IS A CRIME…. Then make education free for all and give facilities so underprivileged aren’t forced to make their kids work
Agr schools mn students ko fail nhe krna to matric mn b Koi asi policy adopt krn k students drop out na hon blk professional colleges mn jayn ta k professional Education sa self independence hon or mulk sa barozgari khtm ho or youngestres mn frestration khtm ho ska

Jo log khty hain Schools/Colleges ka dropout system khatam kia jye inki misal aesi hi hai jesy koi healthy insan darya kinary beth jye or dua krta rhy ke Ya ALLAH SWT meri piyas bujha dy, or pani hasil krny ke liye khud koi mehnat na kry.
Qur’an me ALLAH SWT farmata hai “Insaan ke liye wohi kuch hai jis ke liye woh mehnat kary”
So, Focus on HARDWORK
