Not the right place for examinations
Faizan Usmani emailed from Landhi: I would like to draw the attention of the concerned authorities including the Board of Intermediate Education Karachi (BIEK) and Department of Education, Sindh, towards a very important matter regarding the examinations of the students of commerce being held at the Government Degree Arts Commerce College, Korangi 6.
The above-mentioned college has been undergoing massive construction since the past one year and at the moment, no arrangements have been made for handling such a huge number of students within college premises. Thus, a make-shift arrangement has been made to hold these examinations, which are absolutely against the academic rules and regulations. During construction, the college boundary wall broke down completely and now, there is no boundary wall whatsoever. As a result, there is a unique show of sorts here, where a crowd of hundreds of spectators are cheering on the students and providing them material with which they can cheat.
Interference from the outside sources is a common phenomenon but there is no one to take care of this nuisance. Even the examiners are unable to take stern measures against this. Furthermore, after the lifting of ban on student unions, the college library has been allocated to a certain political group present round-the-clock. One wonders if one can actually call these examinations 'fair'?
Thus, an inquiry into this matter is urged and all concerned authorities are humbly requested to cancel future examinations in college till it is completely constructed.
