IBCC equivalence rules | CAP Humanities group(male) list
IBCC rules prevent medical student from practisingKarachi, Sep 25: Students with foreign qualifications in Pakistan are continuing to suffer in both academic and professional years owing to the criteria of the Inter Board Chairmen's Committee (IBCC) when it comes to foreign students.
The IBCC has a formula to convert the scores of students with foreign qualifications into scores matching those of the local grading system, but several students are not satisfied with it. The case of Javeria Nishat is a clear example of the impact the IBCC rules can have on a student's career.
As an honour-roll student, Javeria Nishat completed the tenth grade in 1998 from Beirut Evangelical School for Girls and Boys in Lebanon, which follows the American education system. Nishat moved to Karachi, but would not be admitted in any college under the Board of Intermediate Education Karachi (BIEK) with her qualifications, and so completed her A-levels from The City School in 2000.
After she completed her A-levels, Nishat stumbled upon the obstacle all A-level students in Pakistan face: none of the government colleges would accept her A-levels without an equivalence certificate. Sir Syed Medical College at Boat Basin proved to be the exception, and accepted Nishat. Here, she excelled in her studies and remained top of her class during the first two years of her MBBS degree.
After her first two years, Nishat got transferred to Baqai Medical University, where she maintained her exemplary academic record, and completed her medical degree in 2006. The university, which accepted Nishat's school records and A-level certificates as they were, assured her that she will face no trouble getting registered with the Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PMDC). Upon graduating, however, Nishat was denied a licence by the PMDC on the grounds that her school documents were unacceptable.
The reason for this was that Nishat had not taken any O-level examinations. She had instead passed the tenth grade, which at her school was the American equivalent of O-levels. When contacted, the IBCC informed her that since her record showed she had not studied Pakistan Studies, Islamiat, and Urdu, she would need to take O-level examinations.
Nishat, who had topped her class at medical university and passed all the exams necessary to qualify as a doctor in 2006, had to take Pakistan Studies, Islamiat, and Urdu at O-level. All together, she got two As and a C, but despite several visits to the IBCC office, her documents were not accepted until May this year. Along with the O-level certificates, Nishat supplied the IBCC with the contact details of her school in Lebanon to verify her school documents. However, the IBCC has asked Nishat to travel to Lebanon and bring back a certificate for the Accreditation Status of School.
When Secretary IBCC, Islamabad, Muhammad Ramzan Achakzai was contacted, he said, "Students should meet the requirements and standards set by the IBCC and arrange for necessary documents." Responding to a question about the case of Javeria Nishat, Achakzai said, "It is difficult to comment on an individual case but if she has been asked for Accreditation of School Certificate she should do it as it helps expedite the process."
He further said that there should be a stamp of accreditation agency with which the school is accredited. If the accreditation status of her school is unclear, he said, then it must be verified as which accreditation agency has certified her school. "We don't only ask students to show the concerned certificates but also contact their schools on our own," he added.
Unlike many other top graduates, Nishat does not wish to work abroad. She wants to serve her country and is qualified to do it, but she is not being allowed to. "I am a doctor, but I am not allowed to take any (medical) exams or practice my job," laments Nishat. "I am not even recognised as a doctor." Despite her experiences with the IBCC, Nishat still clings on to some hope. "Exceptions can be made for exceptional people," she says. Your Comments

"The IBCC love to give students the run around.. Its been a miserable time dealing with them. Please get rid of this useless organization who just want your money and arent willing to do their job efficiently. Everyone would be crying or upset in the offices of the IBCC, because no one knows what the hell they are doing there. No one picks up the phone and their website looks like it was developed by a 12 year old.. May Allah punish those in the IBCC who are messing with peoples brain, time , emotions, and money."

EU releases first installment of 39m-euro aid for education dept
Karachi: The European Union (EU) has released the first installment of the 39 million euros in its aid program, aimed to uplift and upgrade the education institutes of Sindh.
According to officials of the Sindh education department, the EU has released six million euros. This amount has been transferred to the Sindh finance department and will soon be transferred to the education department.
Payment had been stopped due to EU apprehensions about the non-transparency of the mechanism adopted for recruitment of teachers in schools and colleges during the tenure of the previous regime. "The EU officials were not satisfied with the procedure of inducting teachers in schools, prompting them to stop the release of funds," said the officials. "However, the EU had assured us that after the introduction of a transparent procedure, the funds be released."
In addition to the EU's financial aid, the officials also informed this correspondent that the World Bank (WB) had also given the go-ahead for the release of the second installment of its loan of $100 million to the education department. "After the first installment, WB officials halted payment as they too felt that the recruitment procedure was unfair," said the officials.
They added that to comply with the conditions of these international organizations, the education department had adopted a more transparent recruitment procedure and cancelled all previous appointments. "The induction of 7,000 primary teachers through an improved testing system went a long way in persuading the EU and WB officials to release the aid money," said the officials. Daily Times
