According to a press release issued on Tuesday, the signing ceremony took place at the Nadra Headquarters in Islamabad, attended by the FBISE Chairman, Dr Ikram Ali Malik, and Nadra Chairman.
A mutual data-exchange mechanism has been established under the agreement. This will enable Nadra to provide the federal board with key student details directly from its registry, including full name, father's name, and date of birth.
"The initiative aims to minimise data discrepancies and errors during student registration, whilst enhancing administrative efficiency through the issuance of accurate and verifiable academic credentials," it added.
The partnership, the press release stated, also includes the development of a secure Digital Wallet, allowing students to access, store, and digitally share their educational certificates.
This collaboration forms part of Nadra's broader initiative to integrate the national identity system and educational records.
Under this programme, the authority is progressively working to streamline digital data-sharing across secondary and higher secondary education boards, universities, and the Higher Education Commission (HEC) nationwide.
