LAHORE: The Teacher’s National Assessment (TNA) test is likely to get postponed in Punjab, which was earlier scheduled to be held on Friday (tomorrow) across the province.
Media reports suggest that the Punjab School Education Department is reportedly considering postponing the exam due to widespread boycotts by teachers who opposed the validity of the assessment.
However, the concerned authorities have not issued any official notification in this regard.
The protesting teachers argued that they were hired through rigorous interviews and found the additional testing unnecessary. Teachers also launched a boycott against TNA, refusing to participate in the tests.
The boycott movement is gaining momentum across all districts, with teachers calling for the government to reconsider its approach and recognize their qualifications.
Earlier, the Punjab Monitoring and Implementation Unit (PMIU) announced the schedule for the Teacher Needs Assessment, stating that the test will be conducted entirely online, with interviews carried out by third-party evaluators.
