'Composite exams reason for low pass percentage'
LAHORE, Aug 4: "Composite examination system is the
main reason for lower percentage of successful students in matriculation
examination," Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education (BISE) chairman Dr
Muhammad Zakariya Butt said.
Zakariya, who was also a member of the Inter

par-wise system. He said, "In this system students get more marks as compared to
the composite system." He said last year 40 marks were awarded for objective and
60 marks for subjective, but this year 20 marks for subjective and 80 marks for
objective were included.
He said, "We are trying to introduce composite
examination system, as it is suitable for matriculation students.
He said
the board was trying to improve the education standard of government schools. He
said the board had conducted evaluation of government schools and urged them to
work hard. He said this year the board would focus on government schools to
improve their standards. He said the board had sent notices to institutions that
were not giving good results. He said the board would try to improve education
standards by employing modern policies.
