Starting from 2025, all educational boards across the province will conduct matriculation exams in English, regardless of whether they are for science or arts groups. According to the details, questions written in Urdu will be removed from examinations to ensure a uniform language medium in all subjects.
Moreover, starting from 2026, all optional subjects of FA exams will also be conducted in English. While this policy has not yet received formal approval, educational authorities are optimistic that it will be adopted at the next Punjab Boards Committee Chairmen (PBCC) meeting.
