PEC exams to be comprised of 100pc creative questions
Monday, 19 February 2018
From this year on, the Primary Education Completion (PEC) examination will be comprised of 100 per cent creative and competency-based questions.
The move has been taken by the government amid huge criticisms over the leakage of question papers of different public examinations, as per a UNB report.
The National Academy for Primary Examination (NAPE) on Sunday issued a notice in this regard.
The structure of creative questions and mark distribution was finalised through holding a national workshop and as per the Ministry's decision all questions will be competency-base, said the notice.
In 2017, the PEC exam was held with 80 per cent competency-based questions while 65 per cent in 2016.
