According to educationist Shabbir Mustafa, the ongoing examination period for the current academic year has led to significant mental stress and uncertainty among numerous students. He highlighted that a lack of clear communication regarding examination schedules, formats, and assessment criteria is contributing to this distress.

Mustafa emphasized the importance of transparent guidelines from educational institutions to alleviate students anxiety. He urged schools and universities to establish clear channels of information dissemination and provide timely updates regarding any changes in the examination process. Mental health professionals are also being encouraged to offer support resources to help students navigate this challenging period.

As the education sector grapples with the implications of these examinations, it may be beneficial for institutions to consider alternative assessment methods that could reduce stress and better support student well-being.
