Pass Promoted policy

---

Let's discuss the pros and cons of the pass promotion policy.
Is it beneficial for students?
Does it make students careless about their studies because they already know they will be passed and promoted?
Or is it a way to encourage students by showing them, “Yes, you are doing well; you can do it?

@Bakht54a5e4eb47 Students are moved to the next grade level without needing to meet traditional passing requirements.

@Bakht54a5e4eb47 In some cases, performance in the subsequent year's exams may be used to partially assess their performance in the previous year.

The pass promotion policy has both pros and cons. On the one hand, it can reduce stress and anxiety for struggling students, encouraging them to continue trying. On the other hand, it may lead to complacency, as students might feel less motivated to work hard if they know they'll be promoted regardless.

Ultimately, the policy's effectiveness depends on its implementation and support systems. It can be beneficial if accompanied by targeted interventions and feedback, helping students build confidence and skills.

@Bakht54a5e4eb47 The policy may specify which students are eligible for promotion. For example, in Sindh, students in classes 9th and 11th were promoted to the next grade based on their performance in the subsequent class (10th and 12th) with a 3% increase in marks, according to the Sindh Board of Intermediate & Secondary Education Ordinance.

@Bakht54a5e4eb47 The policy might outline how marks are awarded for students who are promoted under this scheme. In some cases, a percentage increase is applied to previous exam results, or a prediction of performance is used.

@Bakht54a5e4eb47 Students who were previously failing or absent might be given special consideration, such as awarding passing marks based on their performance in other subjects, or allowing them to sit for special exams.

@Kalhorouris Boards often ensure that transcripts and certificates clearly indicate that the marks awarded are based on the "Pass Promoted" policy, and not a traditional assessment.

@Bakht54a5e4eb47 These policies are typically enacted when there are disruptions to regular schooling, such as during the COVID-19 pandemic or other emergencies.
