The Aga Khan University Examination Board (AKU-EB) is set to conduct its first examination in April 2006 after affiliating about 100 schools across the country. The Aga Khan University Examination Board (AKU-EB) was established in 2003 under an ordinance passed by the federal government of Pakistan.
The affiliation with AKU-EB is open for all the private schools systems in Pakistan. The board had received more than 200 applications for affiliation from various school systems for its first examination of Secondary School Certificate scheduled in April 2006. From these, about 100 schools in all four provinces were given affiliation.
The board will use the system of e-marking for assessing the answer scripts of candidates in the examinations. This marking system will be new addition in history of public examinations in the region, eliminating the possibilities of tampering with candidates` results.
From its first examination onwards, AKU-EB intends to serve a cross section of English and Urdu medium schools. It would be the first board in Pakistan to make the national curriculum syllabuses available to Urdu speaking teachers. The syllabi for all subjects are derived from the government-approved national curriculum.
