Unregistered institutions can't take board exam
ISLAMABAD, May 9(Daily Times): Girls are showing much better results in examinations than boys but
they need to be more athletically competitive, said Federal Education Minister
Lt Gen (r) Javed Ashraf Qazi at the 22nd convocation and prize distribution
ceremony of the Federal Government Margalla College for women here on
Tuesday.
Qazi said Islamabad's public schools were producing better
results compared to private ones. He said the government was trying to improve
educational standards across Pakistan.
He said the government was
registering all private schools and colleges to monitor their educational
standards. "May 15 is the deadline for registration after which students from
unregistered institutions will not be allowed to sit in any board examinations,"

whether or not the school is registered with the government," Qazi
said.
