It is heartening to see @EduMinistry taking a stand on the CAIE exams (postponement) and results (based on assessed grades).

For the Single-National Curriculum conversation to be anchored in evidence, crucial that the same level of urgency is shown for Pakistani exam systems.
In Pakistan, there are 32 Boards with a mandate to assess students at the matriculation level. 1 in GB, 1 in AJK, 1 Federal, 3 in Balochistan, 6 in Sindh, 9 in KP, 10 in Punjab, and 1 private (AKU EB). These numbers include the Boards of Tech Education in Sindh, KP and Punjab.

. @MathsSciencePK is keen to see the @EduMinistry and the provincial education ministers use this opportunity to not only use data at their disposal, but to make it publicly available, and share a roadmap on assessment (and curriculum) reform.
