Karachi: After securing the joint second position in the Senior Secondary
Certificate (SSC) part-II examination, Asma, daughter of Altaf, stunned the
audience assembled at the Board of Secondary Education Karachi (BSEK) auditorium
when she declared that she will quit pursuing her education. A student
of KMA Girls' Secondary School, located at Nawab Mahabat Khanji Road, Asma
scored 750 marks out of a total of 850. Slating the education system in
the country, Asma said that it was "not worth the effort". She said that she
would prefer to stay at home and serve her parents. However, Asma was quite
reluctant to talk to the media and explain the reason for quitting her
education. She answered only very few questions. All top positions were
clinched by female candidates of private schools in the SSC-II examination 2010.
Tooba Waseem, daughter of Muhammad Waseem Khan, secured first position in the
exams. A student of Mama Parsi Girls' Secondary School, she obtained 758 marks.

pattern. While talking about her future plans, the first position holder
declared that she wanted to become a chartered accountant
(CA). Noorulain, daughter of Usman Ghani, was the co-second position
holder. She belongs to Nasra Secondary School No2, situated at 55, Depot Line,
Karachi. She said that she studied two to three hours everyday and did not take
tuitions. She said that she would like to enroll in an ACCA or CA programme in
future. She reserved special praise for her elder sibling who helped her to
prepare for the exams. BSEK Chairman Anzar Hussain Zaidi expressed
dissatisfaction on the performances of vigilance teams, and said that from now
on, the Board will constitute special teams to monitor the examination process
as it did this year as well. The results of the Secondary School
Certificate, Part II (Class X), General Group (Regular and Private) Annual

KU clueless about move to verify legislators' degrees
Karachi: Following media reports, officials at Karachi University
eagerly waited on Wednesday for the delivery of legislators' academic
certificates, but no such document arrived till late in the evening.
There was no intimation from the Higher Education Commission to the KU
about the matter. There has been no communication from the HEC to the KU
on the issue since May, when it first came to light. Prof (Dr) Pirzada
Qasim Raza Siddiqui, the KU vice-chancellor said that nobody from the HEC
had contacted him on the issue and whatever information he had received was
either through the newspapers or through TV channels. "We have no idea how many
academic certificates are being sent to us. The HEC has not shared any
information with the KU and we are left to gather information from the
newspapers and TV channels. Today, we came to know that July 13 has been set as
the deadline to complete the verification process," the vice-chancellor said,
adding that the HEC had sent them only one letter over the past few weeks and
that was related to the verification of degrees of university employees.
No information related to the issue of authenticating degrees of
lawmakers had been communicated, he said. It would have been better if
the HEC had taken the vice-chancellors of the relevant universities into
confidence over the matter by giving them some information beforehand, he said.
The university, he said, would constitute a high-powered committee to
investigate the academic certificates when they were received. The HEC
on Tuesday dispatched the academic certificates of 934 lawmakers, including
those of 21 madressah graduates and 36 foreign degree-holders, to their
respective universities for verification by July 13. According to media
reports, 36 degree-awarding institutions, both in the public and private
sectors, were involved in the verification of academic certificates of
legislators. The deadline has been set by the HEC in consultation with
the Election Commission.
