B Form no longer needed for admission to federal government schools

The government has abolished the B-form — or Child Registration Certificate (CRC) — requirement for admission to federal government schools.

Geo reports that according to Education Secretary Mohiuddin Wani, the B-form has been one of the major reasons for the growing number of out-of-school children, disproportionately affecting vulnerable populations.

All children residing in Islamabad, regardless of their documentation status, will now be eligible for admission to government schools.
