The chief guest, Federal Secretary Education Naheed S. Durrani said that the board had introduced reforms in a short period of time, to counter problems regarding assessments in Pakistan. She said that only the federal board was conducting two annual examinations in the same year, along international standards to give children confidence.

She hoped that the provincial boards would follow the policies of federal board. She added that earlier education boards relied on manual data, but now it has been digitised. This would increase the confidence and knowledge of children and parents. She added that e-marking had been started by FBISE, and a large number of schools in the country aspired to be associated with them for this reason.

Federal Board of Education Chairman Qaiser Alam said that it was decided to conduct examinations twice a year. He said that due to non-preparation of students during coronavirus lockdown, it was decided to take special examinations. The chairman added that the second examinations were held from November 10 to November 23. “For the first time, we presented exam results in record time,” he added.
