SSC exams begin
Karachi: The Board of Secondary Education Karachi (BSEK) on Friday failed to deliver
on time the question papers for the Secondary School Certificate (SSC),
General Group, annual examination that commenced after a two-day delay
at various centres, causing extreme inconvenience and anxiety to the
candidates. The first paper was held in a peaceful
environment. The attendance was thin during Friday's paper as it was an
optional subject. Furthermore, the students appearing in the government
school located in Khudadad Colony waited more than 20 minutes for the
question paper. On the other hand, the students at the
Government Girls Secondary School, Mission Road, Baba-e-Urdu Road, also
complained that they received the question papers at 9:10 am, which was
10 minutes late. However, the authorities at the examination centres
gave them extra time to compensate the delay. The BSEK officials
said that the employees, who were responsible to deliver the question
papers, faced prolonged traffic jams at various locations. They added
that the Board has now decided to release the question papers earlier
than its actual time to overcome this issue. Also, the candidates at
several examination centres faced load shedding problems as well.

'2,648 dilapidated school, college buildings in Sindh'
Karachi: Some 2,648 educational institution buildings have been
in "deplorable" condition for the last nine years, risking the lives of
249,583 students, disclosed Education Minister Pir Mazharul Haq. The
minister blamed this "sorry state of affairs" solely on the devolution
plan, claiming that 333 schools and one college in Karachi, where
40,266 students are studying, are in apathetic condition. Answering
a volley of supplementary questions by MPAs during Sindh Assembly
session on Friday, Haq said that he would have liked to make further
startling disclosures on the issue, but it would "cause an alarm" in
the House. He said it was because of this reason that the PPP had
raised the issue before the Core Committee that schools should be given
back to the provincial government. He said that the number of
dilapidated buildings could be higher since local government
authorities did not give him reliable figures, adding, he has ordered
an inquiry into the matter. Replying to a question by Humera Alwani,
the education minister did not explain as to whether the government has
any plan to shift the students of such schools to safer places. He,
however, said that Rs100 million have been given to each district under
World Bank's project to repair the buildings but so far only 16 out of
total 22 districts have made some efforts to utilize these funds. When
Humera Alwani, quoting a report of a private TV channel, said that
around 500 school buildings in Dadu were in dilapidated condition,
while the list provided by the minister revealed only 16 such schools,
the education minister said that he had ordered an inquiry into it and
would submit a report to chief minister Sindh for taking action against
the officials who provided him wrong details. PPP's Sattar
Rajpar said that around 156 schools were in dilapidated condition in
his Naushehroferoz constituency, adding, an intermediate college
building was in dilapidated condition while the roof of a higher
secondary school for girls has collapsed. Haq admitted that
information about several districts was not "reliable" and said that
when he came to know this he called an emergent meeting of the
education officials. Responding to a question by Dr Ahmed Ali Shah, the
minister said that he got vacated a historic school in Nausheroferoz
from a Mukhtiarkar who had constructed shops inside it. When
Kalsoom Chandio said that animals and fertilizers were being kept at
the schools in Dadu, Haq said that the local governments were
responsible for it. He said that out of Rs100 million, the Hyderabad
government did not spend a single penny to repair 71 schools there.
Replying to a question by Dr Sikandar Mandhro, the education minister
said that all the districts had been given equal funds on the World
Bank directions. PML-F's Nusrat Abbasi said that when the
education minister has doubts about the figures, why he provided these
wrong details to the House, Haq said that he wanted to expose the
"benefits" of the devolution plan. Responding to a question by
Humera Alwani, Haq said that most of the complaints received against
private schools include: enhancement in tuition fee, "illegal
activities" by school management, complaints regarding admission,
tuition fee charged for vacation period i.e. June and July from
matriculation students, etc. Haq said that there exist a total of
11,669 shelter-less schools, adding, around 5,639 schools were lying
closed. The news
