March 28, 2017

KARACHI (92 News) – Using unfair means and cheating in annual secondary school examinations is on the rise in Sindh.

The question paper for ninth grade's Sindhi exam was leaked at Government Boys High School 1 in several cities of the province.

Several hundred cases of cheating and impersonation were detected at various centers across the interior of Sindh on the first day of the Secondary School Certificate (SSC) examination.

Despite the imposition of section-144 in the province, the administration has failed to halt cheating and mismanagement at the centers in various cities of Sindh.

Chief Minister of Sindh (CM) Murad Ali Shah has taken notice of the incident and has issued directives to Secretary University and Board to immediately submit report in this regard.

Meanwhile, the ‘booti mafia’ has also stepped up as the metric exams kicked off in Sindh leaking the paper of ninth grade with the connivance of staff.

Reports of rampant cheating in the matriculation exams conducted by Board of Intermediate & Secondary Education Larkana outside examination centers in Jacobabad were also received.
