\nCommissioner Peshawar Division and Chairman of the Peshawar Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education, Riaz Khan Mehsud, has assured that intermediate examinations will be conducted in a peaceful and transparent environment, similar to the recently held matriculation exams.
\nAddressing a press conference at the Peshawar Education Board, Riaz Khan Mehsud stated that, in line with the provincial government\u2019s policy, every effort was being made to ensure a calm atmosphere for students, while also curbing cheating through strict yet student-friendly measures.
\nHe said that assistant commissioners will continue surprise visits to examination centers to monitor facilities and prevent malpractice.
\nA formal request has been submitted to the Chief Executive of PESCO to ensure uninterrupted electricity during exam hours, as was done for matriculation exams.
\nThis year, approximately 130,000 students from six districts\u2014Peshawar, Charsadda, Khyber, Mohmand, Chitral Upper, and Chitral Lower\u2014will appear in intermediate exams at 420 centers.
\nAround 4,500 staff members will be deployed, with their assignments determined through a transparent digital lottery system.
\nMehsud explained the implementation of a new cluster system to enhance transparency and administration. Forty-three examination clusters have been formed in Peshawar, Charsadda, and Khyber districts.
\nEach cluster, comprising 10\u201312 colleges within a 3-kilometer radius, will host 10\u201315 exam halls, accommodating up to 200 students per center. Students from all colleges within a cluster will be mixed to prevent collusion and cheating. The system will not be applied in Mohmand, Chitral Upper, and Chitral Lower due to logistical constraints.
\nThe Commissioner emphasized that over 80% success was achieved in curbing cheating during matric exams, and the same strategies will be refined and applied to ensure integrity in intermediate exams. He added that consultations were held with private school administrations, and the cluster system was implemented with their cooperation.
\nRiaz Khan Mehsud also briefed the media on actions taken against individuals and institutions found violating transparency standards during matric exams. In a message to students, he urged them to avoid shortcuts and cheating, and instead rely on hard work to secure a bright future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
