OBSERVER REPORT
With Covid-19 cases in Pakistan showing no signs of going down, the fate of thousands of students set to appear in matric and intermediate exams in a little more than a month hangs in the balance. According to one of the country’s top education officials, authorities are seriously discussing plans to either postpone or call off the exams this year. “Having held informal discussions, most board chairpersons agree that the uncertainty arising from the coronavirus pandemic and resulting lockdowns has made it very difficult to hold exams in June,” Aga Khan Board of Education Chairperson Dr Shehzad Jeeva told media. To reach a formal decision on the matter, Dr Jeeva will chair a meeting of representatives from all public and private education boards on Monday
