SSC-II (Class X) Sciences results: Private schools take top slots
KARACHI, Aug 1: The students of private
schools outclassed their counterparts in government schools sweeping away all
the top positions in the science group of the Secondary School Certificate (SSC)
Part-II (class-X) annual examination 2007, according to the results announced
Tuesday.
Sana Pasha of Falcon House Grammar, North Nazimabad came first
with 809 marks, Tooba Anwar of Lady Bird Grammar School, North Nazimabad second
with 793 marks. Third position was shared by Muhammad Hasan Khan of Chiniot
Islamia Public School and Ashba Mushtaque and Nisha Usmani of White House
Grammar School with 790 marks.
A total of 101,519 candidates appeared in
the examination out of which 79,996 passed. Of these 10,202 were placed in the
A-1 grade, 17,594 in A grade, 20,640 in B grade, 20,015 in C grade, 10,722 in D
grade and 657 in E grade.
Seventy-eight percent of students passed, 3.61
percent lower than last year's successful candidates. An additional two percent
grace marks were added on the orders of the governor. However, students had a
mixed reaction to this decision. One percent grace marks had been added in the
past. Marks sheets will be issued after two weeks and those of private
candidates will be mailed to their addresses.
Sana Pasha complained
about the delay in decision making over the examination schedule and syllabus.
"It disrupts our concentration when the board becomes confused over a decision
like the combined or separate examinations," she said, adding that she supported
the exams in the March-April period. "This time of the year is comparatively
cooler." Pasha, who wants to be a doctor, suggested reforms. "The syllabus we
study is decades old," she said.
Tooba Anwar, who wants to be a Fashion
Designer, suggested MCQ exams. "It's horrible to write for hours to obtain good
marks. It is illogical, particularly for science subjects," she
said.
Nisha Usmani said that government school teachers were not as
devoted. "Perhaps they are not paid enough," she speculated, but hastened to add
that girls did better in the exams because boys were not as
serious.
Ashba Mushtaque left the O-Level system in class 8 to join the
Matric system so she could become a doctor. She expressed fears of corruption in
the Board office. "I have had the cruel experience in my family of bribery in
raising grades against money, which made me afraid for my own results," she
said.
Mistakes have been reported in the results. Student Priya scored
more that 85 percent in almost each paper, but was shown as absent for the Math
paper. Controller of Examinations Bizaatullah Khan termed it a technical
'decoding error'. "These mistakes occur due in the coding and decoding process,"
he said. All students with faulty results can come to the board office along
with the original admit cards to remedy the problem. Daily times
