According to sources, it is possible that educational authorities may postpone examinations while promoting ninth and eleventh grade students without exams.

The decisions regarding the matter will be taken at the next meeting of the National Command and Operation Centre (NCOC) which will be attended by Federal Education Minister Shafqat Mehmood.
