Incomplete syllabus baffles students of Class-IX
KARACHI, Feb 28(Dawn): Both the students and teachers are perplexed following
the decision of holding separate examination of SSC as their syllabus has not
been completed.
Under the system of composite examination students of
class IX were taught ten subjects pertaining to both SSC-I and II and after two
years of study, they were to appear for a combined SSC exam.
Since, the
decision of holding separate exams came at the eleventh hour, students are now
in confusion as to whether the exams will be taken from the entire SSC-I books
or from only those parts of the book which were taught to them.
Sources
in the education circles said that there were two books of biology and chemistry
for class ninth and in majority of schools, only book-I of both the subjects
were taught due to the non-availability of book-II.
However, book
publishers contested the claim saying that they had printed book-II of the
biology and chemistry and it was available.
According to teachers,
non-availability of books was not an issue but the issue was that the book-II
could not be taught to students this year as they were being made to prepare for
composite examination.
They said that the SSC-I exams were scheduled to
held from May 15 and the book-II could not be taught in such a short
period.
A meeting of the board's academic committee comprising 25 members
is scheduled to be held on Wednesday (Feb 28) afternoon to review and decide the
syllabus for the upcoming examination of class IX.
As many as 175,000
students are expected to appear in the BSEK's class IX exams this year
commencing from May 15 while the date of examination for class X has not been
changed and will start from April 17.
