The Punjab Schools Education Department has decided to replace traditional practical exams with a new assessment system. This change will apply to students in various classes and aims to shift focus from hands-on tests to a more continuous evaluation style. Under the new system students will face different methods of assessment that may include projects assignments class work and teacher evaluations. The move is intended to make learning more meaningful less stressful and more aligned with real life skills.
Changing from practical tests to assessments can reduce exam pressure and encourage learning that lasts beyond the classroom. Students will spend more time on real tasks and less time memorizing for one exam. This also helps teachers monitor student growth and address weak areas before the final grade is decided. Such reforms are part of a larger effort to improve educational outcomes and ensure students are prepared for the future.
