The Mirpurkhas Education Board has announced that it is postponing the intermediate examinations due to road closures in the region. These roadblocks have caused significant delays and disrupted the planned schedule for the exams. Originally set to begin on April 28, the exams will now start on May 5. This change was confirmed by the Controller of Examinations, Anwar Aleem Khanzada.
Students affected by this change have been reassured that the board will issue a new, revised schedule to make up for the lost time. The board’s decision to delay the exams stems from the logistical difficulties posed by the ongoing road obstructions, which have made transportation challenging for both students and exam staff.
Over the past few months, the Mirpurkhas Education Board has faced several issues, including financial difficulties and administrative challenges, which have led to delays in the examination process. These financial troubles have made it difficult for the board to carry out its duties efficiently, resulting in disruptions to the normal schedule.
Reports indicate that these financial shortages have had a direct impact on the board’s ability to organize and conduct exams properly. In addition, there has been a lack of success in arranging supplementary exams in the past, which has left many students uncertain about their academic future and prospects.
The postponement of these exams is not just a minor change; it will also cause delays in the release of results and, subsequently, in the admission process to universities. The Mirpurkhas Education Board has had to delay exams before, with previous issues stemming from both financial problems and administrative mismanagement.
These ongoing difficulties have raised concerns among students and educators alike, who are worried about the board’s ability to manage examinations smoothly in the future. The situation has cast doubt on whether the board will be able to meet academic timelines and ensure a seamless experience for all students.
In a separate issue, the Balochistan Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education also had to postpone its intermediate exams, which were originally scheduled to start on April 22, 2025. The board announced that the exams would be delayed by three weeks. According to the Chairman of the Balochistan Board, the delay was unavoidable. However, sources revealed that the decision was partly due to a teachers’ boycott, which led to the postponement.
The announcement caused frustration among students, who criticized the delay, arguing that it would have a negative impact on their chances of gaining admission to medical colleges in the coming year.
In North Waziristan, the matric examinations were also delayed due to security concerns in the area. The decision was made to ensure the safety of both students and staff, as the region continues to face security challenges.
Overall, the delay in exams in Mirpurkhas, Balochistan, and North Waziristan highlights the ongoing difficulties that education boards across the country are facing. From financial shortages to security threats and roadblocks, these challenges continue to affect students’ education and academic progress.
