KARACHI: Governor Sindh Dr Ishratul Ibad Khan has approved the plan to award 2 per cent grace marks by educational boards of Sindh to the candidates of the secondary, higher secondary technical school examinations held this year, in wake of the chronic-load shedding that badly affected preparations of the students for taking their examination.

Owing to the chronic-load shedding during the examinations the governor had earlier asked the educational boards of the province to work out procedures so that the implications of the load shedding could not affect the overall performance of the students.

The committee of chairman Sindh educational boards submitted recommendations with Governor Sindh to this affect and after considerations on the recommendations the governor approved it.

The incentive was given to the students of the said classes in wake of the prolong load shedding and torrential rains accompanied with thunderstorms in the province that affected the concentrations of the students on preparations for their examinations.
