The Punjab government has decided to restore board examinations for 8th grade students across the province. This decision was made during a meeting of the Punjab Assessment and Examination Commission (PACTA). The Punjab government aims to ensure standardized evaluation and improve learning outcomes.
Education Minister Rana Sikandar Hayat announced that board exams for 8th grade will resume under PACTA’s supervision. He emphasized the need for a fair and transparent evaluation process for students. The Punjab government also plans to strengthen internal assessments for students in grades 5 to 7.
The new internal assessment system will focus on evaluating both students’ learning levels and teachers’ performance. The Punjab government wants these tests to be diagnostic tools rather than traditional exams. Officials will develop a framework within one month to implement these reforms.
This move by the Punjab government is part of wider education reforms aimed at improving the quality of education in the province. The government believes that restoring board exams will help monitor student progress better. Parents and teachers have welcomed the decision, hoping it will raise educational standards.
Overall, the Punjab government is committed to making education more transparent and effective. The new policies are expected to benefit students by providing clear benchmarks for success. The government will continue to oversee the changes closely to ensure they meet their goals.
