FSc student gets back 23 marks deducted for overwriting
LAHORE, Oct 10: The Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education (BISE)
on Tuesday restored the marks given to a FSc student by a sub-examiner, which
had earlier been reduced by the head examiner. Rahima Rashid, daughter of Mirza
Abdul Rashid, obtained 857 marks out of 1,100 marks in the 2006 final
examination. His father got her biology paper rechecked and found that the head
examiner had reduced the marks as she had overwritten the options in the
objective part of the paper using a lead pencil. Rashid complained to ombudsman
Abdul Rashid Khan that the reduction in marks was illegal. He sought for the
restoration of 23 marks. The ombudsman ordered the BISE to resolve the issue. Daily Times
