ISLAMABAD – Federal Minister for Education Shafqat Mahmood said Thursdaythere were no immediate plans to end the O-Level (Ordinary level) andA-Level (Advanced level) education from the schools nationwide but it maytake a decade to implement the single certification system in Pakistan.
It is a part of the government’s bid to enforce a uniform curriculum in thesystem.
“No plan to finish O-Level or A-Level,” the education minister tweeted.“What I said that once we have been able to create a consensus on a singlenational curriculum, we would be in a position to consider a singlenational certification. May take a decade.”
