He termed the circular, issued after meeting of steering committee, ‘wrong’, demanding the Sindh Education Department to review the notification immediately.
Earlier in the day, the Sindh Education Department held a steering committee meeting and notified all private schools to promote the students from classes I, II and III to the next class without conducting the examination.
In the notification, the steering committee further instructed the additional director of the directorate of private schools to conduct the examinations of classes IV to VIII after Eid-ul-Fitr.
Moreover, the academic year will be started on August 1 in all private schools across the province.
