The annual examinations of ninth and tenth classes of science and general groups were scheduled to begin on March 28.
The chairman said that BSEK, in addition to taking various steps at its end, had succeeded in getting maximum support from the law enforcement agencies and the concerned government departments to stop the use of unfair means in the examinations and to maintain peaceful atmosphere during the exam hours.
“In response to the board’s letter, the home secretary had assured us the provision of full security at and around the examination centres. Rangers authorities also guaranteed maximum patrolling around the centres,” he added.
