FOREWORD

We are living in an extraordinary age characterized by stunning changes in social organization, economic well-being, modern philosophical and religious perspectives with a much advanced understanding of our universe. Education is vital to every aspect of human progress and development and therefore, for the first time in history educational development on a global scale tends to precede economic development.

Over the last five years the government of Pakistan has taken several initiatives to reform the teaching and learning in our schools and colleges. One of these reforms includes the designing and implementation of an examination system that ensures assessment of comprehension of concepts, analytical skills and critical approach of students.



in the present day teaching-learning process students resort to memorization and learn only what is needed to pass the examination; students rarely apply or integrate what they have learned in a realistic context. This hinders the ability of students to use concepts in new situations. Therefore, the examination system should take cognizance of the aims and objectives of the curriculum. In the concern for academic progress the basic aims of education should not be lost sight of. The Federal Ministry of Education has fixed priorities in the context of educational endeavours which aim at the improvement of teaching and examination system at all levels. An effective examination system can prove to be a vehicle for improvement in teaching-learning process and the improved quality of examination may in the long run result in improvement of the overall quality of education. If the examination system is reduced to simply testing how well students reproduce a given set of information, rote learning becomes the dominant culture, unimaginative teaching methods become the norm and schooling becomes a chore.
The present government has given a good deal of attention to reforming the secondary and higher secondary school curricula to raise the education standard. We need to improve the achievement of students through better instructional materials, curricula, more intensive teaching and better examination strategies and so on. Reaching these goals would depend on the extent to which teachers, principals and administrators have ready and continuing access to professional development in all areas of education.

The Federal Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education, in compliance with the policy perceived by the Ministry of Education, has undertaken the arduous task of enhancing the quality of its examinations. It has employed all possible resources in the pursuit of this national cause and has set another example of its commitment to excellence. I hope this will go a long way in improving the quality of education in Pakistan.
