Karachi:
The Financing Research Committee, established by the SENDH Assembly to investigate objections regarding the Karachi Intermediate Education Board (BIEK) XI Exam results, has submitted its report.
The report highlights the irregularities and poor management in several stages of the exam process, including evaluation, maintenance of records and brand sheets. After these findings, the Committee has recommended granting all students.
The president of the Committee and Minister of Education of Sndh, Sardar Ali Shah, declared that the students were unfairly treated by the Board, and added that the educational boards of Karachi (matrices and intermediate) have participated in bad practices regarding the results during the last eight years, which must be stopped now.
In statements to journalists at the corner of the media of the Sindh Assembly after the committee meeting on Tuesday, Minister Sardar Ali Shah revealed that the investigation, directed by Dr. Sarosh Lodhi, vice chancellor of the University of NED, discovered serious irregularities within the Board. He said: “The Investigation Committee has received the authority to identify those responsible, and we will recommend actions against the elements according to the rules.”
The minister emphasized that students will not be subject to injustice. After an agreement between the members of the Committee, it was recommended that the grace brands be added to the first year results of the students, 15% in physics, 20% in chemistry and 15% in mathematics. He also emphasized the need for reforms in the Board system, stating that the committee’s mandate will be used to implement reforms at the Sindh educational boards.
“We will continue this process. A centralized system is also needed to supervise the operations of the Board,” he added. Expressing concern for the state of things, he commented that the Karachi intermediate board had begun to operate as a mafia, manipulating the results of the students who had previously obtained well in their registration exams. He pointed out that, compared to other meetings, Karachi’s results were significantly worse, creating a negative impression. “We will present all the recommendations of the Committee to CM.
