New instructions issued for schools in Punjab regarding students B-Form

The School Education Department in Punjab has issued new directives requiring all schools to accurately enter and verify students' B-Form numbers with the National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) within a 10-day timeframe. This initiative aims to enhance the accuracy of student records and ensure consistency between school data and national identity records. School heads will be held accountable for any incorrect entries and will be responsible for covering any NADRA expenses incurred due to errors. For students lacking a B-Form, schools are instructed to temporarily use the father's Computerised National Identity Card (CNIC) number, with the department explicitly stating that no child should be denied admission solely due to the absence of a B-Form. The directive emphasizes the importance of matching educational institution records with NADRA's database.
