A new policy has been introduced by the Federal Directorate of Education (FDE) under which the scholars will need to achieve a minimum of 40% marks and have a 75% class attendance to be promoted into subsequent class.
As per sources, a notification by the FDE has been issued regarding a replacement promotion policy for the scholars of its 424 schools and colleges under the Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT). The notification underlines another directive under the new policy through which students from class 1 to 9th won’t be promoted into subsequent class if they fail quite two subjects.
The students who fail in just two subjects will only be promoted under the condition of getting at-least 40& marks overall.
The subjects from class 5 to 9 are divided into two categories by the FDE and sources added that as per the category-I, if a student fails English alongside the other subject, they’re going to need to achieve a minimum of 40% or above marks for securing promotion. within the case of Category-II, the scholars need to achieve a minimum of 25% marks within the subjects they failed so as to realize promotion into subsequent class.
The sources added that the new policy is going to be implemented within the current session of 2020 within the examination system and with regards to the present, a notification has been sent to the institutions and Area Education Officers (AEO) of the federal capital.
