From this year on, the Primary Education Completion (PEC) examination will be comprised of 100 per cent creative and competency-based questions.
The move has been taken by the government amid huge criticisms over the leakage of question papers of different public examinations, as per a UNB report.
The National Academy for Primary Examination (NAPE) on Sunday issued a notice in this regard.
The structure of creative questions and mark distribution was finalised through holding a national workshop and as per the Ministry's decision all questions will be competency-base, said the notice.
In 2017, the PEC exam was held with 80 per cent competency-based questions while 65 per cent in 2016.
