Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education Lahore has introduced an automated system for practical examinations for the first time, marking a major step toward transparency and digitization in the education sector.
The initiative has been implemented under the directives of Maryam Nawaz to modernize the province’s education system.
Under the new system, the assignment of examiners for practical exams will now be fully computerized, eliminating manual intervention and reducing the risk of favoritism in examiner postings.
Officials said the move is aimed at ensuring merit-based deployment and improving the credibility of the examination process.
Provincial Education Minister Rana Sikandar Hayat has directed authorities to ensure complete transparency in examinations.
In addition, the Lahore Board has shifted all practical exams to a centralized marking system, with preparations for implementation already finalized.
Officials said removing human interference is key to maintaining fairness, adding that the reform reflects the Punjab government’s broader efforts to digitize public services and strengthen trust in academic assessments.
