Islamabad: Federal Minister for Education, Professional Training and National Heritage Shafqat Mahmood launched a mobile app of the Inter-Board Committee of Chairmen (IBCC) equivalence certificates here on Tuesday.
IBCC secretary Dr Ghulam Ali Mallah briefed the minister on the utility and benefits of the application.
The minister said the IBCC was following the directions of the prime minister by introducing transparency, ease of doing business and customer facilitation.
According to the vision of Prime Minister Imran Khan, launch of such an application is not only a revolutionary step but also, a signature project of the Ministry of Education which intends to minimise the problems of the public and will increase their accessibility to the IBCC.
He said before digitalisation, applicants used to face many problems i.e. they had to stand in queues for hours to deposit fees and payment of IBCC to fulfil the condition of being physically present that too, in its limited branches.
The minister said courier service wasn’t available and applicants had to travel miles to come to the office of IBCC to get equivalence certificates.
"This app does not only enable the applicants to apply online for equivalence certificates but also, allows them to deposit their fee online from IBCC Mobile App through OTC, Digital Wallet payments from any financial institution through credit & debit cards (local & international) as IBCC has integrated digital payment solutions in the said application.
Shafqat Mahmood said that the overseas Pakistanis are our assets and the said application will be of great help to them.
