Arrangements for SSC exams finalised
Karachi: Around 300,000 male and female candidates (both regular and
private) will be appearing in the Secondary School Certificate Part-I and
Part-II (Class IX and X) Science and General groups annual examinations-2009
scheduled this month. The Class X General group examinations are
scheduled to begin on March 20 and the Class X Science group examinations on
March 24. The Class IX General and Science groups examinations this year
are to be held on the new pattern. The first paper in the General group has been
scheduled for April 1 and in the Science group on April 2. Under the new
pattern of examination, being introduced for the first time for Class IX
candidates, all papers except for the compulsory subjects (English and Pakistan
Studies) will have three portions. The portion "A" will have multiple choice
questions, portion "B" will comprise questions requiring short answers and
portion "C" will consist of questions requiring descriptive answers.
According to the Board of Secondary Education Karachi (BSEK) Secretary,
Prof Asif Pasha Siddiqui, the Class X papers in both the groups will be held in
the morning shift (from 9am to 12 noon) while the Class IX papers in the
afternoon shift (from 2pm to 5pm). Giving details of the arrangements
made for the holding of the examinations, he said that a total of 476 centres
(264 for male and 212 for female candidates) had been set up at government and
private schools. He said arrangements had also been made to ensure availability
of adequate furniture at all the centres. A certain amount under the head of
contingency would also be provided to the heads of the schools where examination
centres had been set up, he said, adding that the fund was meant for provision
of drinking water and other essential facilities to candidates.
Vigilance teams
Prof Siddiqui said that with a view to ensuring transparency and checking cheating/unfair means in the examinations, the BSEK
had set up 182 vigilance teams - 92 for male and 90 for female candidates'
centres - while the EDO education would form his own vigilance teams for the
purpose. The examinations would conclude on April 23 and shortly
afterwards, a centralised assessment of answer scripts would begin, he said. The
results would be announced by the dates already fixed by the Sindh education
department's steering committee. Dawn
'Meltdown indicates demise of communist, capitalist systems': KU seminar on global financial crisis
Karachi: Since the communist and capitalist economic systems have both failed, the only logical alternative is the Islamic economic system.
This was observed by Dr Shahida Wizarat of the Applied Economics
Research Centre (AERC), University of Karachi, while speaking at a seminar on
"Global financial crisis: impact on the world economy and the developing
countries" held at the university on Thursday. The day-long seminar was
organised by the university's Area Study Centre for Europe (ASCE) in
collaboration with the Hanns Seidel Foundation, Islamabad. Dr Wizarat
argued that Islamic banks appeared less affected by the economic downturn as
compared to the other banks. She said that the current international financial
crisis might change the course of history. The crisis, she recalled, had
started in the housing sector in the United States where interest rates were
very low. Investment firms and hedge funds also got into house financing and
there was intense competition in the sector. Adjustable mortgage rates
were introduced to attract buyers. When the US Federal Reserve increased the
interest rate, people began to default on loans and there were foreclosures of
properties by banks and financial institutions, she added. According to
her, the previous economic crisis of similar proportions was felt in 1973 with a
steep rise in the oil prices in the aftermath of the Arab-Israel war. This had
profoundly impacted the social, economic and political spheres and an important
outcome was that the role of the state was greatly enhanced. Ali Ercelan
of the Pakistan Institute of Labour Education and Research (Piler) quoted the
adage "capitalism for the poor and socialism for the rich", and said this was an
apt discription of the situation prevailing in the world. He said
economies of most countries could be categorised into two sectors - formal or
state sector, run through taxes etc, and the people's sector - adding that "the
masses only get what is left over." He observed that the global
financial crisis that started from the US had now turned into a worldwide
economic crisis. "Perhaps the US will ultimately benefit from this crisis," he
remarked. Mr Ercelan was of the view that the crisis was rooted in the
inequality between nations/states and between individuals. He pointed out that
the average per capita income in the developed world was around $25,000 while it
was just $1,000 in developing countries. He observed that an impact of
the financial crisis on the world economy was a downward revaluation of
properties, assets, etc. "If there had been less international economic
integration, or in other words less globalisation, the impact of this crisis
would not have been so severe," he said. In this regard, he pointed out
that the countries in the developing world or the emerging economies of
south-east Asia, for instance, appeared more severely-hit than the
inward-looking economies, for they were trade dependent. Asif Iqbal of
the Social Policy Development Centre (SPDC) told the audience that since
Pakistan was not so well-integrated in the global economy, the impact of the
international financial crisis in the short-term was not severe. SPDC
Managing Director Dr Khalida Ghous summed up the seminar's proceedings.
Earlier, ASCE Director Dr Naveed Ahmad Tahir spoke on the topic of the
seminar. App
