Students protest against inefficiency of BSEK
Karachi, Aug 3: Hundreds of protestors thronged the Board of Secondary Education
Karachi (BSEK) on Thursday and chanted slogans against the administration,
demanding immediate removal of the Acting Controller of Examination, Bizatullah
Khan and other officials.
The protestors who claimed to be students of
SSC Part II blocked the streets and created chaos. According to details, the
protest was carried out because the recently announced results SSC Part II
Science group had several errors such as those who were passed were declared
fail, while some of them were marked absent in one or more subjects, though they
appeared in all the five papers. This created panic amongst the students, who
immediately rushed to the board asking about the factual position. Keeping in
view, the board established four counters, two each of boys and girls to
clear-up the mess, which they claim to be human errors.
Realising the
sensitivity of the situation, the board officials closed the main door and
called the police, who are now guarding the building in order to avoid any
mishap. In the meantime, the demonstrators tried to climb the building walls,
Khan immediately rushed towards the gate and asked the protestors to produce
their admit cards so that their problem could be resolved, but the latter were
unable to present them.
Khan said that some miscreants entered
the building and tried to sabotage the whole process which was being carried out
peacefully. He termed it a conspiracy against him by some plotter. However, he
also informed that about 800 complaints of the students were received so far,
which had some minor errors and were corrected on the spot.
Giving the
details of the counter established for students' help, Khan said that it will
continue to work till Saturday, after which any such complaints will not be
entertained as it functions till late in the evening with additional staff
working to resolve the problems of the students. The news
