Islamabad Schools No Longer Require Form-B for Admission
Form-B is no longer required for admission to government-run schools in Islamabad, which is an effort to assist undocumented students from impoverished backgrounds.
This modification seeks to increase enrollment rates that are hampered by this requirement, which disproportionately impacts children who are already at risk.
Approximately 26 million children in Pakistan do not attend school, despite several efforts by the government to boost enrollment with programmes like free lunches and textbooks. The policy change was announced by Education Secretary Mohyuddin Wani, who emphasised that all students in Islamabad are now eligible for admission to government institutions, regardless of their documentation status.
Wani said, “Many impoverished and undocumented children’s access to education has inadvertently been constrained by the requirement of Form-B for school admissions. Our goal in doing away with this requirement is to foster an inclusive learning environment.
In addition, in an effort to relieve congestion, the Ministry of Education will start nighttime shifts in 51 schools located throughout Islamabad during the upcoming academic year. There are currently over fifty kids in some basic classes, and some have reached nearly one hundred. This action is a component of the endeavour to efficiently handle growing enrollment.
