Hyderabad Board History

A commission on national education was appointed on 30 December 1958 which recommended the four years of education from grade IX to XII as part of the Intermediate and Secondary Education curricula thus forming the Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education in Hyderabad later in 1961.[1]

The move came as part of the West Pakistan Intermediate and Secondary Education Ordinance, 1961 (alternatively for East Pakistan, it was the East Pakistan Ordinance No. XXXIII of 1961). The ordinance was further ammended in Act no. XVI of 1962 and Act no. XVII of 1977. Under the acts, it was responsible for the organization to regulate, supervise, control and develop the levels and status of Intermediate and Secondary level public examinations in educational institutions.[1]

The board started acting under the guidance of Dr G. A. Jafri, appointed as the board's chairman. Soon afterwards, the board was further bifurcated into a board for Sukkur and recently for Mirpur Khas.[1]
