ISLAMABAD – A huge number of students staged a protest in the federal capital against the Federal Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education (FBISE) rejecting the results of the Higher Secondary School Certificate (HSSC) 2024.
Students from different colleges participated in the protest, which was held outside the office of the federal board in Islamabad. Holding banners in their hands, they chanted slogans against the board over alleged irregularities in the marking system.
