Karachi (HRNW) Students in Sindh studying from grade one till eight will be promoted to the next class without appearing in any examinations, announced Education Minister Saeed Ghani on Tuesday.
He was speaking to the media after chairing a steering committee meeting where the decision was reached.
Ghani said schools can pass their students on the basis of their academic performance throughout the year.
“Students can be assessed over their performance in first or second term exams or other examination systems depending on schools,” said Ghani.
As for those students who under performed or failed some subjects in their last exams, Ghani advised schools to retake their tests and adjust the marks if they think that’s the right call.
“It is up to the schools how they promote them. We are foreseeing closure of schools for a long time,” he remarked.
The minister will announce a decision regarding matriculation and intermediate exams before Monday after consulting Federal Education Minister Shafqat Mehmood.
