Lahore, The report of the Judicial Commission regarding delay in announcement of Secondary School Certificate (SSC) and Higher Secondary School Certificate (HSSC) results attached with faults finally prompted the Punjab government to suspend chairmen of eight boards of intermediate and secondary education in the province.

According to the sources, the decision was taken after the Judicial Commission submitted its report stating that result delayed because of fault in the online system as well as negligence of the concerned officials. It mentions that results of all eight boards of the Punjab province were full of errors and the rechecking process also took long time.

According to the sources, in the first phase, the Punjab government has decided to suspend all the chairmen of eight boards and after that education department would decide about the fate of controllers of examination of the boards. They said that induction of online system was not wrong, but favoritism and poor system multiplied problems for the board officials as well as students. 

Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif has said that judicial commission`s recommendations on intermediate results would be implemented in letter and spirit.

Speaking to students at a seminar on women empowerment at Kinnaird College on Friday, he said the Booti mafia was rooted out in 1998 and the examination system was computerised to ensure transparency. However, he said, the mafia tried to undermine this system in collusion with board officials. Answering a question about the role of the academy mafia in education and examination systems, the chief minister asked parents, teachers and students to evolve an effective strategy to eliminate it.
