Which stream uses a separate Federal Directorate and different examination system?

The Federal Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education (FBISE) is a distinct educational stream in Pakistan that operates with its own Federal Directorate and a separate examination system. FBISE caters to federal government institutions, schools located in cantonments and garrisons, and Pakistani schools abroad. This centralized system ensures a uniform standard of education and assessment for students enrolled in these specific federal-affiliated schools, distinguishing it from provincial education boards.

• The Deeni Madrassah system has its own curriculum and examination structure, but it is not governed by a 'Federal Directorate' in the same administrative sense as FBISE.
• Technical Education is managed by provincial Technical Education and Vocational Training Authorities (TEVTAs) or the National Vocational and Technical Training Commission (NAVTTC) at the federal level, but it's a vocational stream, not a general schooling system with a 'Federal Directorate' like FBISE.
• Distance Learning refers to a mode of education delivery (e.g., Allama Iqbal Open University), not a separate stream with its own federal directorate and examination system in the context of traditional schooling.
