QUETTA: Provincial Education Minister Sardar Yar Mohammad Rind on Monday said that the government had decided to bring the Balochistan Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education under the Higher Education Commission to improve its performance.

Talking to reporters, the minister said that students belonging to various educational institutions in the province would get their result cards and certificates at divisional headquarters.

He said the decision had been taken keeping in view travel difficulties and financial problems of the students who “will no longer need to travel to Quetta from far-flung areas of the province for collecting their educational documents”.
