RAWALPINDI: Students in Rawalpindi on Saturday protested against the non-issuance of roll number slips by the Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education (BISE).
The education board, which introduced a new online system for generating roll number slips this year, has failed to issue roll numbers to all students.
The roll number slips were to be issued from March 1 from the board’s website.
To avert any chaos, the board started issung hand-written roll number slips at examination centres and the board’s spokesperson, Arsalan Cheema, promised to issue roll numbers to all students by tomorrow.
Meanwhile, in Faisalbad, students, instead of taking their exams, were seen swarming the office of the board to get their roll number slips corrected.
The annual matriculation examinations in eight boards across Punjab started today.
Around 140,000 students sitting for their exams this year in 388 centres across Punjab are facing more than just the non-issuance of their roll number slips. About 35 per cent of the students could also not submit their admission forms online.
Students have also complained of the lack of information on the new format of the examinations.
Four thousand students could not sit for their first exam of the Middle Standard examination in Sialkot district last month because Gujranwala’s BISE failed to issue their roll number slips.
The All Pakistan Private Schools Management Association (APPSMA) has demanded the revival of the old registration system for students, maintaining that the new online system now required by education boards is proving problematic, with most students and schools not having internet access.
