Federal Board vs Lahore Board for Matric ? Need Advice
My younger brother recently moved permanently from Islamabad to Lahore.
My brother has started Class 9 this year and previously studied under FBISE in Islamabad. In Lahore, most of the schools we've found are Lahore Board, while comparatively few offer Federal Board.
Personally, we prefer FBISE because its papers seem more conceptual/SLO-based instead of relying as much on memorization. My brother is also already used to the Federal Board syllabus and paper pattern.
Currently he is studying at KIPS in Lahore, where they teach both Federal Board and Lahore Board students.
We are considering keeping him in KIPS and sending his FBISE admission privately instead of switching him to Lahore Board.
I wanted advice:
1. Is staying with FBISE a better decision than switching to Lahore Board after moving to Lahore? 2. Has anyone in Lahore appeared as a private FBISE candidate? Was the process straightforward? 3. How do private FBISE students manage science practicals/practical certificates? 4. Are there any disadvantages to being a private candidate compared with being registered through an FBISE school? 5. Which good schools/colleges in Lahore currently offer Federal Board for boys? 6. Between Garrison, Fazaia, DHA and other FBISE institutions in Lahore, which would you recommend?
