The next intermediate exams have been postponed, according to the Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education (BISE) Mirpurkhas, which cited road closures that have seriously hampered access and transportation throughout the area.
According to Controller of Examinations Anwar Aleem Khanzada, the exams will now commence on May 5 instead of April 28 as originally scheduled. He gave the kids his word that a new timetable reflecting the modifications would be posted shortly.
The reason for the delay is the logistical difficulties posed by blocked roads, which make it hard for students and exam personnel to get to testing locations promptly and securely.
In recent months, the board has been dealing with a number of challenges. Its capacity to carry out exams effectively has already been compromised by administrative and financial limitations.
Students were also worried about academic advancement delays since the board had previously neglected to arrange supplemental exams.
This most recent ruling is probably going to have a cascading effect, further postponing the results’ publication and making university applications more difficult for thousands of applicants.
