Punjab’s nine educational boards will introduce electronic answer sheets (e-sheets) for examinations in four science subjects next year as part of efforts to modernize the province’s examination system.
The decision was taken during a meeting of chairpersons of all nine boards in Lahore, where officials also finalized the subjects selected for on-screen marking in upcoming matriculation and intermediate examinations.
Lahore Board Chairman Professor Badrul Salam chaired the meeting, which was also attended by Deputy Secretary Higher Education and Lahore Board Secretary Rizwan Nazir. Participants discussed infrastructure, printing facilities and logistical arrangements required to implement the new examination system.
The meeting also considered forming dedicated teams to ensure uniformity, transparency and the effective use of technology across all educational boards.
Professor Badrul Salam said the boards would work towards establishing a transparent, standardized and technology-based examination system to make the process more efficient and reliable.
