Students Will Not Be Promoted without Exams This Year: Saeed Ghani

KARACHI: Sindh Education Minister Saeed Ghani has said that exams may be postponed for two to three months depending on the coronavirus situation and vowed that students will not be promoted without them.

“Exams may be delayed but they will be held and students will not be promoted without them,” said Ghani while addressing a press conference in Karachi.

The provincial minister said that the matter was discussed during a meeting of the National Command Operations Centre (NCOC), adding that the decision to close schools was recommended by the steering committee for education.

The minister stated that no one, including the government, wants student’s studies to be affected and that the closure will likely disrupt education once again. He, however, hoped that private schools will understand the government’s position given the rise in the coronavirus cases and agree to shut down schools.

The Sindh Education Department has decided to suspend physical classes till grade 8 of all schools in the province from April 6.

The classes will remain suspended for 15 days, said Sindh Education Minister Saeed Ghani in a tweet.
