Karachi schools, colleges reponing under tight security
Karachi schools, colleges reopen amid tightened security
Karachi, Oct 27: Schools and colleges across Sindh re-opened on Monday after
remaining closed since Oct 21. Stringent security measures were taken to
meet any eventuality amid fears of an act of terrorism that had prompted the
authorities to announce an abrupt closure of all educational institutions in the
province. Rangers and police contingents staged joint and separate
marches on the streets of Karachi to ensure peace and safety of students.
Pickets were set up at various sensitive installations across the city and those
educational institutions believed to be vulnerable to terrorist attacks.
However, no untoward incident was reported from any part of the city.
The public and private universities in the city reopened last week after
vice-chancellors of these educational institutions assured the authorities that
they had made elaborate arrangements for the safety and security of their
respective institutions, students and visitors. A delegation of
All-Private Schools Management Association, Sindh, is scheduled to meet the
provincial education minister on Tuesday to discuss security arrangements at the
member schools.

Schedule, pattern of HSC general group papers
Karachi: The schedule and pattern of papers for the regular and private candidates of Higher Secondary School Certificate
(general group) annual examinations-2010 will be the same, according to the
Board of Intermediate Education Karachi (BIEK). Under the new pattern,
each theory paper will not only have five different sections but the sequence of
questions in every section will also differ from each other, according to BIEK
Chairman Prof Anwar Ahmed Zai. Expressing the hope that the new pattern
will help eradicate the menace of cheating in examinations, he said the board
had decided not to accept the examination forms after due date at any cost.
He said that the setting up of examination centres would be based on a
report to be furnished by the Board's inspection committee. No centre would be
set up in a college already black-listed by the board, he added. Prof
Zai said that the inspection committee would comprise senior teachers and start
visiting colleges from mid-November to see if all the required facilities were
available at the institutions proposed to hold the BIEK examinations.
Regarding HSC (general group) examinations, he said that the traditional
system of conducting the examinations for regular and private candidates
separately was being done away with from the next year. He said the papers for
both the categories of candidates would be similar. The board has
already made arrangements for posting results of all examinations on its
website, Prof Zai pointed out, adding that it would soon make all exams-related
forms available at its website. With the provision of such a facility,
the candidates would be able to obtain the required documents from the board
after submitting their forms through banks. The board would also ensure
one-window operation in this regard, he said. The BIEK chairman said the
board had also decided awarding of scholarships to the first 20 students on the
merit lists of all examinations. The scholarship, he added, would be of Rs500
per month for a period of two years.
