All of the Cambridge school examinations scheduled for May 12 (tomorrow) have been postponed, according to a statement released by the British Council on Thursday.
The British Council announced in a statement that all scheduled tests for both the morning and evening shifts had been canceled.
“We would like to reiterate that we are actively working with Cambridge to agree next steps, and we will provide more information as soon as possible,” the statement said.
British Council Country Director Amir Ramzan and Country Director with Cambridge International Examinations Uzma Yousuf expressed their support for candidates and parents during this difficult time.
“Cancelling the exams on 10, 11 and 12 May has been a difficult decision. Your safety and well-being come first, and that’s why we have taken the decision we have.
“We know this is a crucial time in your academic journey, and the disruption caused by the current situation is not ideal. We want to reassure you that we are doing everything we can to ensure that Cambridge students can continue their education journey without any interruption,” said the statement.
“Our team is continuously monitoring the situation, and we will keep you updated as we have more information. We are completely committed to providing a safe and secure environment for you to sit for your exams,” it added.
Following the arrest of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan, which resulted in the deaths of at least nine individuals, the nation has been engulfed in political unrest. Despite the Supreme Court’s ruling for the PTI chief’s release, nothing is assured at this time.
