100pc creative questions in PEC exams from this yr

Amid criticisms over the question leaks in different public examinations, the government has decided to hold the Primary Education Completion Examination (PEC) with 100 per cent creative and competency-based questions from this year, reports UNB.

The National Academy for Primary Examination (NAPE) on Sunday issued a notice in this regard.

The structure of creative questions and mark distribution was finalised through a national workshop and as per the ministry's decision 100 per cent competency-based questions would be formulated for each subject, the notice said.

In 2017, the PEC exam was held with 80 per cent competency-based questions while 65 per cent in 2016.
