A meeting held here under the chairmanship of the provincial governor, Syed Iftikhar Hussain Shah, at Governor’ House here on Thursday reviewed the progress on the implementation on policy in this connection and decided to make the process more effective and transparent.

The meeting also decided to take disciplinary action against those teachers who would be found responsible for bringing zero level results of their respective subjects for three consecutive years.
