ISLAMABAD: The Balochistan Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education (BBISE) has stopped 22 officials from taking part in any board activities forever. This happened because they broke the rules for exams.
As per the private newspaper report, the officials chose exam centers where their close family members were taking the matriculation exams.
A notice from BBISE Chairman Ejaz Azeem Baloch said the board’s rules do not allow staff to work at centers where their sons or relatives are giving exams.
Even so, the 22 officials ignored these rules, and now they are not allowed to work with the board anymore.
On the other hand, annual matriculation exams started across Punjab, including Lahore, on March 4.
In Lahore, a total of 585,400 students are taking part in the exams. According to the Lahore Board, today’s exams are for Arabic and Geography, while Arts, History, and Woodwork exams will happen in the evening.

Punjab Education Minister Rana Sikandar Hayat warned the cheating mafia, saying that controlling them is his mission. He said no one will be allowed to take another student’s marks. Steps have been taken to make the exams fair. Now, no one can harm a student’s rights. All exam centers are also being watched by cameras.
