The Board of Intermediate Education Karachi (BIEK) has suggested rescheduling examinations starting next year due to the growing threat of heat waves in May and June.
The annual intermediate examinations are traditionally held in May and June throughout Sindh, including Karachi. However, the increased risk of heat waves resulting from climate change has raised concerns for the well-being of the students.
Chairman Intermediate Board Karachi Prof. Saeed Uddin has penned a letter to the Sindh Education Minister Syed Sardar Shah, proposing to hold annual examinations in April and May next year due to the increasing threat of heat waves in May and June.
The letter highlighted that the high heat intensity during these months makes it challenging for students and administrators to conduct exams effectively.
Prof. Saeed Uddin urged the steering committee to approve the rescheduling of intermediate examinations during their next meeting and subsequently seek approval from the relevant authority.
It is worth noting that the annual intermediate examinations commenced yesterday, May 30, across Sindh, including Karachi, and will continue until June 27.
