INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION GUIDE for the assessment of education from the Islamic Republic of Pakistan .27 Various examining boards may offer other course groups in addition to those listed in the national curriculum. Examples include the nursing group, the agricultural group and the military science group. Composite and Partwise Examinations Depending on the year and the examining board, the Higher Secondary Certificate examination may be either composite or partwise. • The HSC composite examination is conducted at the end of Grade 12. • The HSC (partwise or part system) examination is conducted in two parts, one at the end of Grade 11 (HSC Part I) and one at the end of Grade 12 (HSC Part II). Table 19 shows the allocation of marks to subjects in Part I and Part II of the partwise HSC examination (pre-medical) conducted by the Aga Khan University Examination Board. Higher Secondary Certificate or Intermediate Examination Certificate The minimum mark for passing each subject is 33 per cent. The certificate usually indicates the chosen course group, the total marks obtained for all subjects and the corresponding letter grade. A student who fails one or two papers may repeat those subjects in “compartmental exams” conducted in the same year. A student who fails more than two papers is required to repeat all subjects the following year. It is also a common practice to give “grace marks” to students who fail one or two papers by a few percentage points, to allow them to pass the examination. Teaching at higher secondary schools officially requires possession of a Master of Education or MA (Education). 2006 Curriculum In 2006 the Ministry of Education announced a new national curriculum for Grades 1 to 12, to be adopted across the school system over a period of three years, starting in 2007. It was first introduced in that year in Grades 1, 6, 9 and 11. The new curriculum and course syllabi are available on the Ministry of Education website. Some of the changes to the previous (2000) curriculum include: • an increase in school days from 170 to 210 • provision of a scheme of studies for early childhood education for children aged 4 to 5 • teaching of Urdu and English from Grade 1 as compulsory subjects • introduction of a few compulsory subjects for middle school (Grades 6 to 8), including computer literacy, geography and history • provision of a five-year period for schools to adopt English as the language of instruction for selected subjects, including mathematics, science and computer literacy • provision of the option for non-Muslims to study ethics instead of Islamiat in all grades After passing the examination, students receive the Higher Secondary Certificate or Intermediate Examination Certificate, which is the prerequisite for entry into university undergraduate study. In addition to the HSC, students also receive a detailed marks sheet. The format of the HSC and marks sheet varies by issuing board and time period.
