Sindh postpones outsourcing of board exams

Earlier, the education boards of Sindh opposed the Sindh government’s move to outsource the entire examination system of the public and private educational institutions to a third-party organisation.

According to sources, the education board’s chairmen in Sindh opposed the Sindh’s Department of Universities and Boards’ decision to outsource the examinations this year as, according to them, the matric, inter exams are set to commence next month and it is impossible to proceed with the outsourcing plan.
