PED Initiates Crackdown on Failing Schools

Authorities are actively considering downgrading hundreds of public-sector high schools that recorded critically low matriculation enrollment and dismal pass percentages. Under the newly proposed directives, any institution registering fewer than 20 students for board examinations will lose its high-school status and be reverted to middle-school level.
