Students suffer as Board of Secondary Education Karachi fails to communicate decisions on time

The failure of the Board of Secondary Education Karachi (BSEK) to communicate its decisions on time about changes of centres and rescheduled papers is causing confusion and making students taking matriculation exams suffer.

Despite the widely published news of a change of a centre from The Metropolitan Academy to Shaheen Public School after an emergency press conference late in the night on Tuesday, the former centre saw a stream of students early in the morning.

“They did not know about the change. Most parents switch off their television sets and do not allow children to use the internet,” said Sharfuzzaman, director of the Private School Management Association.

It is expected that the change in the timetable for Class X students who are repeaters for English Compulsory Paper I, a subject only Class IX students attempt, will create similar confusion on Friday (today).

The board on Wednesday published a change in the timetable and postponed the exam date for repeaters from April 12 (today) to April 22.

“Students who do not yet know of the change will swarm up outside the centre only to be told to leave and come back later,” said Zaman.

Meanwhile, reports of overcrowded centres were received from Royal Grammar School, Sector 16 and Little Folks School, Sector 11½ Ghaziabad, Orangi Town.

The Sindh High Court (SHC) issued notices to the Chakiwara SHO, the BSEK and others on a petition seeking the issuance of provisional admit cards to 149 students so that they could appear in matriculation exams.

Mohammad Hussain and Ghulam Farooq submitted that their children along with other 148 students, who were studying in Bright Public School in Lyari, were enrolled for the exams, but the school administration failed to submit exam forms to the board.

They said the school administration informed them that school clerk Abdul Karim had fled with exam forms and Rs142,950 exam fees, and the matter had been reported to police.

The petitioners complained that due to mismanagement and negligence on the part of the school administration, their children were suffering.

A division bench, headed by Chief Justice Mushir Alam, issued notices to the respondents for April 12.
