Board exams postponed in Rawalpindi and Islamabad due to public holiday

In a recent incident, both the Federal and Rawalpindi education boards have postponed all ongoing examinations due to the Punjab government’s late-night decision to close all educational institutions on October 18th, 2024. The decision affects all public and private colleges and universities across the province.

The provincial authorities issued a formal notice declaring the holiday, forcing the education boards to postpone all scheduled exams for the day. As a result, students set to take their exams right now face delays, with the boards working to reschedule the affected exams.

Officials from both the Federal and Rawalpindi education boards have reinforced students and parents that new exam dates will be announced shortly. They also affirmed their commitment to minimizing disruptions to the academic calendar while adhering to the government’s orders.

This move by the Punjab government follows widespread student protests sparked by an alleged rape case involving a student at a private institution in Lahore. The terrible episode has sparked outrage among students and the public, leading to widespread protests across the province.

The protests have caused significant disruptions to the academic routine, forcing the government to take immediate action to ensure public safety and restore calm to educational institutions.

The academic routine has been significantly disrupted by the disturbances, necessitating urgent action by the government to ensure public safety and restore normal operations in educational institutions.
