Annual exams in May
- Sana Hashmi, Karachi

THE Education Ministry has decided to hold annual examinations in May every year. Karachi has the cruelest weather during May and June.

If you collect information about the attendance of school children during these months, you will find that almost half the students are absent because of the heat.

Why does the Provincial Education Ministry want to punish the children by conducting the examinations at that time? Exams should take place in March and April.●
