Celebs Laud Shafqat Mehmood’s Decision to Postpone all Exams Including CIE’s Other Than A2 Until June

Amid the growing number of cases of COVID-19, Pakistan has come under a complete lockdown. All malls, restaurants, and other entertainment areas have been closed until further notice. Schools and universities have also been shut down. Work hours have been reduced significantly.

The government of Pakistan is trying its best to control the virus.

However, the CIE’s and local exams were decided to be conducted as scheduled. Due to the violation of  SOPs outside the exam centers in the latest development, exams have been postponed other than A2, who have a compulsion to take exams now.

Federal Minister Education, professional training, National Heritage and culture, Shafqat Mehmood announced the news on Twitter:

Addressing health concerns of students and parents All exams cancelled till June 15 and depending on the spread of the disease may even go further. Cambridge exams postponed till Oct/Nov for all grades. Only exception for those in A2 who have a compulsion to take exam now

— Shafqat Mahmood (@Shafqat_Mahmood) April 27, 2021

Adaptive-Tec

University admissions in Pakistan will be aligned for class 12 and A2 who will be taking exams in Oct/Nov. This is to ensure no one loses a year. For A2 who have some compulsion to take exams now, every attempt will be made to provide safe venues. Not more than 50 students

— Shafqat Mahmood (@Shafqat_Mahmood) April 27, 2021

Pakistani celebs lauded the minister’s decision:

The pop star Azim Azhar tweeted: Mubarak bacho. Ab khuda ka waasta hai parties aur get-togethers bhi cancel karna apne aur ghar baithna until we’re done with covid

Mubarak bacho. 🥳 Ab khuda ka waasta hai parties aur get togethers bhi cancel karna apne aur ghar baithna until we’re done with covid 🙏🏽

— Asim Azhar (@AsimAzharr) April 27, 2021

 

Pakistani actor Adnan Siddiqui also tweeted in this regard. He said: A very wise decision by honorable minister #shafqatmehmood. Finally, parents and children can heave a sigh of relief. Contrary to some critics, no one is shying away from exams. The atmosphere to hold them right now is not conducive. Gladly bring them on in Oct/Nov

— Ayesha Omar (@ayesha_m_omar) April 27, 2021

However, Aijaz Aslam didn’t agree with the decision. He said on Twitter: What a mess this examination process has become, why didn’t they go for the grade assessment option? What about O2 students now? Admissions of A levels? All messed up

What a mess this examination process has become , why didnt they go for grade assessment option ? What about O2 students now ? Admissions of A levels ? All messed up

— aijaz aslam (@aijazz7) April 27, 2021

Cambridge has announced that fees will not be charged from students later in October-November.  The minister said, “Many parents will be relieved that their children will not appear for exams at a time when the virus is at its peak. The decision has been taken in a collective spirit and the best interests of the students’ future.”

Pakistani Students Want Cambridge Exams 2021 to be Cancelled, #cancelcies21 Trends on Twitter. Read the full story here:

Cambridge students in Pakistan want O/A-Level exams to be canceled this year by the international board for the upcoming May/June 2021 exams as Pakistan is entering into – what experts call it – the third wave of the pandemic. Many have cited this wave to prove to be worse than before. The cases have already escalated into many vicinities across the country, which is why many areas in major cities are under strict or smart lockdown.
