KARACHI: The school administrations of the private and government schools were asked to collect the Admit Cards of 9th and 10th class students from the Board Office amid closure of the schools till March 13. The Sindh Universities and Board Department ordered to hold SSC examinations on time from March 16.

On the other hand, the Sindh Education Department has ordered strict compliance with the Sindh government’s orders to keep schools closed until March 13, to lower the potential spread of coronavirus. To ensure compliance, education department teams have been carrying out visits to private schools on a daily basis.

Owing to the closure of educational institutions, school administrations found themselves in problems after the Secondary Education Department issued the schedule for the issuance of admit cards for matric examination candidates.

According to the schedule, the schools may have to collect the admit cards from the board office between March 5 and March 9.

“While the exams are scheduled to begin on March 16, delivering the admit cards to Grade 9 and 10 students is apparently impossible with both public and private schools shut,” a school administration said.

Private school administrations claim that the admit cards cannot be delivered to students before March 13 even if the schools collect the cards from the board offices, as schools must remain closed till the given date.

Another concern is even if they summon students to collect their cards on March 14 and March 15, there would still be thousands of students whose cards are held back by the board offices. In this scenario, the students must clear the offices’ objections in order to obtain the cards, which is nearly impossible to do in a day or two.

However, secondary school education director Hamid Karim stated that the process of delivering the admit cards to students was ‘not a big deal.’ Stating that it could be done in a couple of hours, he said that if the matric board had issued the school, there must be a policy in place to complete the process.
