LAHORE:
Under a scheme under consideration of the government, preparations are reportedly underway to discontinue grade 11 and 12 classes in colleges and include them in school education.
The move by the Punjab higher education authorities will affect about four million students across the province.
After the implementation of the decision, only associate degree programmes will be offered in colleges. According to sources, recommendations in this regard are being formulated by the Punjab Ministry of Higher Education.
