Teachers Oppose Last-Minute PSEB Exam Pattern Changes, Call Them Unfair and Stressful

Teachers across Punjab have strongly opposed the last-minute changes in the Punjab School Education Board (PSEB) exam pattern, describing the move as unfair and stressful for both students and educators.

What Is the Issue?

The PSEB reportedly introduced changes to the examination pattern close to the exam dates, leaving little time for students and teachers to adapt.

Teachers’ Concerns

• Insufficient time for students to adjust to the new pattern
• Increased academic stress and anxiety
• Disruption of teaching and revision plans
• Lack of prior consultation with teachers

Impact on Students

• Confusion regarding question formats

Board’s Response

The Punjab School Education Board has not yet issued a detailed response to the concerns raised by teachers. Further clarification is awaited.

Why This Matters

• Ensures fairness in board examinations
• Protects students’ mental well-being
• Highlights the need for transparent academic policies

Education experts have emphasized that any major exam reforms should be implemented well in advance to avoid confusion and stress.
