Karachi Matric Science group result 2013
Boys outshine girls in matric exams - for a change
Karachi, Aug 02: The Board of Secondary Education Karachi announced the results of the
Secondary School Certificate Part II Science group in a ceremony hosted
at the BSEK office on Thursday. Instead of the girls outperforming the boys like every year, this time around the boys bagged the top two positions. The
award ceremony was marred by the members of the press shoving each
other to try and be the first one to get the names of the position
holders. However, the environment turned a lot calmer after the clearly annoyed board officials announced the names of the top students. The SSC toppers Ammar
Samad of the Usman Public School bagged the first position, while Syed
Muhammad Usman Ali of the Waves Grammar School secured the second place. The
third rank was shared by Daniya Ali of the Karachi Public School and
Karishma Kumari of the Defence Authority Model Girls School. During their interview with the media, both Samad and Ali criticised the outdated examination system in the country. "Exams
should be designed to test the analytical skills of the students. I
tried my best not to learn by rote," said Samad, who obtained 791 marks
out of the total 850. Ali, who scored 790, said the BSEK
should do away with the guess-paper culture. "Repeating the same
questions from the five-year question bank makes it easy for anyone to
guess what the exam paper will be like." BSEK Chairman
Fasihuddin Khan agreed. "Repetition of questions has dropped the exam
standards. But we have been working on it for the past few years and
have brought the standard up a few notches." Of the 137,968 candidates who appeared in the exams, 10.17 percent received the A1 grade and 18.2 percent the A grade. Around
20.21 percent managed to secure the B grade, 16.49 percent the C grade
and 6.78 percent the D grade. The pass percentage was 72.14 percent. Special kids' results The
BSEK also announced the results of 118 special candidates who appeared
in the SSC Part II examination and 101 special candidates who appeared
in the SSC Part I exam. All the students who topped the exams belonged to the Dewa Academy for the Deaf in Gulshan-e-Iqbal. Nida
Shams secured the first position with 88.11 percent, Zainab Ali Akbar
stood second with 85.88 percent, and the third position was bagged by
Maryam Ali with 84.82 percent. The pass percentage was 93.23 percent.

Ex-education minister caught with fake degree
Islamabad: The University of Punjab has formally stripped Pakistan's former
Education Minister Waqas Akram Sheikh of his graduation declaring his
Bachelors of Arts (BA) degree invalid as the documents provided by the
former minister for BA examination have been proven to be bogus. Sources said after the declaration of the university, HEC has also withdrawn attestation of former MNA's BA degree. The
move could end the political career of the former MNA who contested
2008 election on the basis of his 'graduation' degree. Legal experts
believe Waqas could be barred from contesting elections for life under
article 62 and 63 of the constitution which requires a legislator to be
honest and sagacious. According to a recent letter by the
Punjab University's controller examination Dr Liaqat Ali, a copy of
which is available with The News, the former minister had failed to pass
intermediate examination hence his BA degree is invalid. The university
was responding to a letter by the Higher Education Commission (HEC) No
5-3/IIEC/A&A/2013/693 dated July 22, 2013. On the directions of the
Supreme Court of Pakistan, HEC had sent letters to various universities
to inquire about the status of the degrees of some parliamentarians. "In
admission form for Bachelor of Arts, Annual Examination 1997 vide Roll
No 054216, the candidate informed that he passed intermediate
examination from BISF, Lahore in 1995 vide Roll No 011097. However the
candidate is shown fail in Statistics as per gazette of BISE, Lahore,"
said the letter of Punjab University. The letter also
mentions the HEC's correspondence with IBCC and Cambridge International
Examinations (CIE) showing that A level certificate of the former
minister was not genuine. "Under all above circumstances,
the degree is invalid, however litigation is still pending in court and
the codal formalities for quashment of result at university end are
hence pending." When contacted, Sheikh Waqas Akram termed
it a conspiracy being hatched by the HEC chairman. "As an education
minister I caught HEC chairman's corruption and held him accountable for
the wrongdoings in the commission therefore such dirty tactics are
being employed by him against me for the last many months," he said. Sheikh
Waqas said that as the case was sub judice therefore he was unable to
comment in detail over the issue. He further said that he had yet not
received any official correspondence of HEC or any other organisation in
this regard. Meanwhile, HEC has also written a letter to
Waqas at his home address informing him that the commission has
withdrawn attestation of his BA degree. "HEC withdraws the
attestation vide HEC ticket number 326448 dated 13 August 2010 made for
your Bachelor degree awarded by the University of Punjab," says the HEC
letter. It says the degree of Waqas was attested on the
basis of his intermediate from BISE, Abbottabad and his A Level
certificate from University of Cambridge, UK but later both were proved
fake.

PU and SZH declared vulnerable to dengue
Lahore: The city district government has declared the Punjab
University (PU) and Shaikh Zayed Hospital (SZH) vulnerable to dengue and
asked the authorities to take preventive measures.
The city government has asked university and hospital administrations
to facilitate towns' anti-dengue squads and entomologists visiting
places vulnerable to dengue spread, a spokesman said on Thursday.
He said District Coordination Officer Nasim Sadiq had written
separate letters to the university registrar and hospital chairman after
an entomologist and a Samanabad town team visited Shaikh Zayed Hospital
and the Punjab University on July 24 and 26, respectively.
During visit to the hospital, officials described some places as safe
havens for mosquitoes, which cause dengue. "Similarly, the team found
four places in the university vulnerable to dengue spread and detected
dengue larvae at the botanical gardens of the university," the spokesman
said, quoting DCO's letters, which have also been sent to Chief
Minister's Secretariat.
He said the DCO had asked the hospital administration to pay attention to dengue larvae breeding places.
"If a hospital proves to be vulnerable to dengue, how people will
trust such institutions, which are meant for treating dengue patients.
The hospital administration should take care of such things and take
affective steps in this regard," the spokesman said, quoting the letter.
He said the varsity administration had been asked to cooperate with
government officials and give them access to places vulnerable to
dengue.
"We will not spare any institution, whether influential or not, if it
is found vulnerable to dengue," he said at a meeting here. Earlier, he
visited union council 84 and supervised dengue surveillance of houses by
officials.
