Sindh Education Boards not able to present Exam Results even after Ten Months
Ad hocism among the boards has prevented three of Sindh’s education boards from releasing the results of the intermediate part-I exams for the past ten months.
This ad hocism involves the nomination of commissioners as chairs and frequent chairmen turnover. The results of the inter-part-I examinations have never been postponed for this long in the province’s history.
It has sparked questions about whether the interannual exams can be held in the upcoming 1.5 months. Details indicate that the inter-part-I exam results for the science, arts, and commerce groups have not yet been released by the school boards of Hyderabad, Nawabshah, and Mirpurkhas.
Moreover, it seems that neither the province’s chief minister nor the provincial government’s universities and boards department are aware of the students’ unhappiness or the delay in releasing exam results.
During his term, the Nawabshah commissioner was named chairman of the board by the caretaker chief minister. The Nawabshah Education Board Chairman, Dr. Muhammad Farooq, stated that the process of preparing results and verifying copies had been put on hold but had since been picked back up.
He was hoping that within the following ten days the results will be made public. Regarding the Hyderabad board, the chairmanship was bestowed upon the Hyderabad commissioner.
Furthermore, in violation of the guidelines and the rulings of the Supreme Court, former minister Ismail Rahoo had earlier hired Prof. Ali Ahmed Brohi from Sindh University’s Department of Sociology on a deputation basis.
In a similar vein, Masroor Zai, the grade 18 deputy controller, has held his job unaltered for the previous 12 years. Every time he is taken out of the country, the court has granted him a stay order.
For the past three weeks, the Mirpurkhas education board has likewise operated without a chairman. Rahoo had disregarded Supreme Court directives as well as laws in appointing Zulfiqar Shah, a delegation from Islamabad, as chairman.
The Sindh High Court dismissed him because of their deputation-based appointments. But since his dismissal, the board’s daily activities have been significantly interrupted, and the process of preparing exam results has come to a complete standstill.
It is important to note that the results of the interpart-I exams have been impacted by the appointment of the Karachi commissioner as the chairman of the Board of Intermediate Education Karachi.
The low result ratio prompted the creation of a committee, which is chaired by Dr. Sarosh Lodi, vice chancellor of NED University. The committee made the decision to solely raise scientific students’ optional subject grades—the mandatory subject grades will remain unchanged.
As a result, most students did not gain anything from the choice and did not pass required courses like Islamiat, Urdu, English, and Pakistan Studies.
