A day earlier, Federal Minister for Education and Professional Training Shafqat Mahmood on Wednesday rejected rumours of cancelling the examination for class 9 and 11.
Taking to Twitter, the minister clarified: “Class 9 and 11 exams will take place according to the time table of the respective boards. No truth in rumours that they will not be held”.
However, students are not happy with the decision as they have again started demanding what they call “justice” amid the prevailing situation of the COVID-19.
Students waiting for this moment 🥺
