The Inter Board Committee of Chairmen (IBCC) was established
in 1972 under a Resolution of the Ministry of Education with a
view to exchange information among member Boards, coordinate
activities of the Boards, achieve fair measure of uniformity
of academic, evaluation and curricular standards and to
promote curricular and co-curricular activities on Inter Board
basis. It provides a forum for discussion and consultation for
the chief executives of the Boards and provincial Curriculum
Bureaus on matters relating to development and promotion of
Intermediate and Secondary Education and also Technical
Education by making suitable recommendations to the
Government. Besides, coordination of educational activities
like curriculum, testing and evaluation, examinations,
educational planning and administration are also considered by
this forum.
Another function of great importance assigned to the IBCC is
to decide and grant equivalence to foreign qualifications with
corresponding Pakistani Certificates at the Secondary School
Certificate (SSC) (Matriculation), Higher Secondary School
Certificate (HSSC) (Intermediate levels) and technical
education as well as local certificates / diplomas with the
comparable certificates awarded by the Boards. IBCC also
converts foreign grades into Pakistani marks at SSC/HSSC
level. On an average 15000 cases of equivalences are normally
processed in a calendar year, in addition to the new cases
which are decided during the Equivalence Committee meetings
held from time to time.
IBCC has also been entrusted the assignment of attestation of
certificates and diplomas, issued by the Boards of
Intermediate and Secondary Education and Boards of Technical
Education in Pakistan, for those candidates who want to go
abroad for further/higher education and /or for employment
purposes. |
