It is pertinent to mention here that KP government has term the assessment test mandatory and have called the concern boards that those who did abide the directive action will be taken against them.

However, the final decision over the controversial assessment test will be decide on Monday as the government has decided to take private schools owners and association on board before jumping into the decision.

A private school teacher Usman Ali told this scribe that new government doing nothing positive for the uniformity of the education sector but imposing new experiment at the province and the result of such initiative would be drastic.

He said that private schools association would decide the fate of the government decision of Monday and hopefully the assessment of the educational institutes would relinquish by the provincial government.

“The provincial government needs to give importance to the security of the educational institutes on priority base instead creating hurdles for the private sector he added.

The private schools owners and parents had threatened earlier that if the government did not reverse the decision the teachers, students and parents of the schools would hold protest in front of the provincial assembly.
