Sindh Introduces New Grading System for Matric and Inter
The Sindh government has instituted a new grading scheme for matriculation and intermediate students, substituting grades for the previous numerical system.
The goal of this new system, which will go into effect in 2025, is to provide a more thorough assessment of pupils’ performance. The Inter-Board Coordination Committee (IBCC) created the system, which would determine marks based on student performance. marks below 40% will be assigned as “Unsatisfactory,” while scores of 95% or higher will be classified as “Exceptional.”
First, second, and third places are eliminated under the policy, which instead focusses on offering a more complex evaluation of pupils’ talents. The following is the grading scheme:
95% and above: A++ (Exceptional) 90-94%: A+ (Outstanding) 85-89%: A (Excellent) 80-84%: B++ (Very Good) 75-79%: B+ (Good) 70-74%: B (Fairly Good) 60-69%: C (Above Average) 50-59%: D (Average) 40-49%: E (Below Average) Below 40%: U (Unsatisfactory)
A national committee of school board chairs made the decision in 2022 to switch the current grading scheme for grades X and XII to a 10-point system for the entire nation. The new method replaces the marking “F” (fail) with “U” (unsatisfactory), and it raises the minimum passing score from 33% to 40%.
The reforms have not yet been adopted by Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, or Balochistan; Sindh is the first province to embrace this method.
