A fact-finding committee formed by the Sindh Assembly has recommended awarding grace marks to first-year students who failed the Board of Intermediate Education Karachi (BIEK) exams.
The proposal suggests giving 15% to 20% extra marks to help students pass. This recommendation aims to support students who struggled in their exams and prevent them from repeating the year.
The committee submitted its report to Education Minister Sardar Ali Shah. The report includes an analysis of exam results, the evaluation process, and the overall academic performance of BIEK and its affiliated colleges.
Many students and parents have welcomed this suggestion, as it could reduce stress and help students continue their education without delays. However, some education experts believe that improving the teaching system and exam evaluation process should be the main focus instead of awarding grace marks.
The final decision on this proposal will be made by the education authorities in Sindh. If approved, it could provide relief to thousands of students who failed their exams but were close to passing.
Conclusion This recommendation, if implemented, may help many students move forward in their studies. However, long-term improvements in the education system are also necessary to ensure better academic performance in the future
