LAHORE: A spokesperson of the Higher Education Commission (HEC) has informed the Lahore High Court that students doing O and A level no more require to seek an equivalence certificate from the Inter-Board Committee of Chairmen (IBCC) of education boards.
The measure came after a student filed a petition, challenging the condition of seeking equivalence certificate from the education board in addition to attestation of degrees from the HEC.
During the hearing, the HEC counsel told the court that now for the attestation of masters and bachelor degrees, a student no longer needed to apply to the IBCC for O and A level equivalence certificates.
“Rules had been changed for the benefit of the students and these would be applicable across the country uniformly,” the counsel added.
The petition was disposed of later by the high court judge.
