Question papers will be designed to include easy, difficult and highly difficult questions. The traditional method of framing questions will also be revised to discourage rote learning and place greater emphasis on students’ understanding and analytical abilities.
According to education authorities, the reforms will focus on assessing students with different levels of ability more effectively. Questions will be structured to better evaluate their understanding, knowledge and analytical skills rather than relying primarily on memorisation.
A dedicated item bank will also be developed to improve and standardise the quality of question papers across Punjab’s education boards.
The reforms will not be limited to question-paper preparation. Changes are expected to be introduced gradually in marking and other stages of the examination process as part of a broader effort to strengthen the overall assessment system.
