Sindh plans province-wide shift to digital examination system

KARACHI: The Sindh government has decided to introduce a technology-based examination system across all educational boards in the province, including e-marking and wider digitalisation of board operations.

The decision was taken at a meeting chaired by Sindh Minister for Universities and Boards Muhammad Ali Malkani Rahoo, where proposals were reviewed for electronic marking, digitised governance mechanisms and changes to existing examination procedures.

Under the plan, the government will also work to improve the institutional capacity of educational boards through technological upgrades and staff training. Board employees are to receive specialised information technology training as part of the transition.

Institutions will be provided modern scanners, cutting machines, servers and other equipment needed to support the digital transformation, according to the decisions taken in the meeting.
