The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Minister for Elementary and Secondary Education, Arshad Ayub Khan, has said that a comprehensive strategy has been devised to monitor matriculation examination halls. Under this plan, 3,520 examination halls will be monitored on a daily basis, and approximately 750 monitors will visit examination centers every day.
He expressed these views while presiding over a meeting of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Education Monitoring Authority held in Peshawar in connection with the matriculation examinations. On this occasion, Secretary for Elementary and Secondary Education Muhammad Khalid, Special Secretary Iftikhar Ali Khan, Director General of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Education Monitoring Authority Manzoor Afridi, and other officials were also present.
The meeting reviewed in detail the preparations for the matriculation examinations and measures to ensure their transparent and fair conduct. Important decisions were taken to provide maximum ease and facilities to students across the province. These include ensuring the availability of electricity and proper lighting in examination halls, maintaining appropriate distance between students, provision of clean drinking water, and availability of furniture and chairs.
Similarly, the number of invigilating staff, functionality of CCTV cameras, monitoring of unauthorized persons around examination centers, and prevention of prohibited materials will also be ensured. In case of serious violations, immediate alerts will be issued through the dashboard system.
