270 caught cheating in HSC exams | KU M.A registration
Over 270 caught cheating in exams
Karachi, May 22, 2008: As many as 272 candidates were found indulging in unfair means
in the ongoing Higher Secondary Certificate Part-I and II (Class XI and XII)
Science, Commerce and Home Economics group annual examinations-2008.
The
cases were reported by the vigilance committees of the Board of Intermediate
Education Karachi (BIEK). The figure does not include those cases which were
detected by invigilators and superintendents at their respective examination
centres and will be compiled once the examination process is over.
The
BIEK chairman, Prof Anwar Ahmed Zai, has asked members of the vigilance teams
not to succumb to any pressure while performing their duties.
Presiding
over a meeting of the BIEK's vigilance teams in his office, he said that the
role being played by members of vigilance teams in detecting such cases would
raise the standard of education.
Meanwhile, complaints about prolonged
load-shedding continued to pour in from various examination centres as the
BIEK's request to exempt examination centres from load-shedding has so far
remained unheeded. The BIEK had urged the KESC at the beginning of the
examinations to avoid load-shedding at examination centers from 9am to noon and
from 2pm to 5pm.
Students appearing in the their Intermediate (Class-XI
and XII) examinations deplored the frequent and prolonged load-shedding
currently being resorted to at their examinations centres as well as in their
localities which was not only affecting their performance in the examinations
but was also disrupting their studies at home.
A student calling from
Gulistan-i-Jauhar asked: "How can the candidates concentrate on solving their
papers when their clothes get soaked with sweat in the absence of electricity at
their examination centres in the current hot and humid weather?"
"KESC
officials must realise that the results of the examination will determine our
future," remarked another student who is a Class-XII (Pre-medical group)
student.
Scouts' role hailed
The BIEK in a letter sent to
the Sindh Boys Scouts Association has appreciated the role of scouts who are
nowadays assisting the BIEK in getting photostat shops closed in the vicinity of
examination centres.
Sources in the board said that the scouts are
circulating pamphlets among the owners of photostat shops asking them to keep
their business closed during the examination timings to discourage those
intending to indulge in unfair means. Dawn
