In a significant move to enhance transparency in educational assessments, the Punjab Matriculation 2026 Exam Task Force has mandated the installation of closed-circuit cameras in science laboratories across all examination centers, as reported by ProPakistani on February 10, 2026. This directive aims to ensure fairness during practical exams, with the task force emphasizing the need for fully functional laboratory computers and the availability of necessary chemicals and equipment. Schools have been given until February 28 to complete these preparations, after which technical monitoring teams will conduct inspections. The practical exams will be divided into two components: the assessment of the practical record book and the hands-on practical examination, with resident inspectors overseeing the process. Additionally, schools are required to provide waiting rooms for parents of female students, highlighting a focus on accommodating family needs during exam hours.
