Board exams postponed holiday: In a significant turn of events, the Federal and Rawalpindi education boards have announced the postponement of ongoing examinations. The Punjab government’s sudden announcement of a public holiday affects all public and private colleges and universities statewide. The announcement, made late last night, has left students and parents scrambling to adjust their schedules.
The sudden holiday was declared due to ongoing student protests demanding justice for a victim of an alleged incident at a Lahore private college. The provincial authorities, aiming to address the protesting students’ concerns, decided to temporarily close educational institutions. While intended to calm the situation, this move has inadvertently disrupted the academic calendar.
Students preparing for their exams now face uncertainty as the boards work diligently to reschedule the affected exams promptly. The postponement has caused a mix of relief and anxiety among students. While some are relieved to have more time to prepare, others are anxious about the delay and the potential impact on their plans.

Officials from the Federal and Rawalpindi boards have assured students and parents that new exam dates will be communicated promptly. They emphasized their commitment to ensuring minimal disruption to the academic calendar while adhering to the government’s directive. “We understand the concerns of students and parents and are working diligently to reschedule the exams as soon as possible,” said a spokesperson from the Federal Board.
Education boards face the challenge of coordinating new dates that fit the schedules of thousands of students across the region. Ensuring new exam dates align with other academic activities or holidays further complicates the task of rescheduling postponed board exams.
In the meantime, students are advised to continue their preparations and stay updated with official announcements from their respective boards. The boards encouraged students to utilize this extra time effectively to enhance their understanding of subjects and improve overall performance.
The situation remains fluid, and the education boards are closely monitoring developments. They have assured all stakeholders that they are committed to resolving the issue swiftly and efficiently. Authorities are dedicated to minimizing the impact on students’ academic progress while ensuring a seamless transition to the updated exam schedule.
