Education Adviser Prof CR Abrar said the delay in deciding to postpone yesterday’s examination was “reasonable”.
“The decision cannot be made abruptly, and no one has the authority to make a hasty decision. If the examinations are to be postponed, we must take the necessary measures to roll back the process accordingly,” the adviser said adding that the question papers must also be retrieved if they have already been dispatched to the exam centres.
The adviser was speaking to reporters at the Secretariat today, a day after HSC examinees demanded his resignation while protesting in the administrative complex over the delayed decision to postpone yesterday’s exam following the jet crash.
