The Controller of Examinations for the Peshawar Board has issued a press release instructing students to attend the postponed papers on the newly issued date sheet.
According to the newly released schedule, the practicals for the students will begin on May 25 and will continue until May 30.
It is important to note that violent protests erupted in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and the rest of the country after Imran Khan’s arrest by NAB in the Al-Qadir Trust case on May 9. Consequently, the Education Department of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa postponed the matric examinations in the province.
The Higher Education Department issued a statement in this regard, stating that government and private colleges in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa would remain closed from May 10 to May 14 due to the prevailing law and order situation. However, after Imran Khan’s release on bail, the situation is gradually returning to normalcy.
