New grading system in Punjab educational institutions soon
The Punjab government will soon introduce a new grading system in
educational institutions of the province on the pattern of international
standards.
Speaking at a meeting of
Inter-Board Committee of Chairmen (IBCC), Punjab’s Higher Education Minister
Raja Yassir Humayun Sarfraz said the purpose of the new grading system is to do
away with the marks race among students.
Stressing the need to eliminate
the rote learning system, the Minister said unfortunately our educational
system was incapable of judging the performance of students in a better manner.
The students are in the race to
obtain numbers from Matric up to the Masters levels and their creative
abilities cannot be determined in the true sense, he added.
The minister further said the Inter-Board Committee of Chairmen has also decided to enforce a grading system instead of marks in all the educational boards across Pakistan so that true abilities of hardworking students could be judged.
