The Sindh High Court (SHC) has directed all educational boards of Sindh to design a mechanism to control cheating during examinations.
As per reports, a single bench comprising Justice Salahuddin Panhwar directed the boards to take into account the suggestions made by experts while hearing the case pertaining to cheating during examinations.
Institute of Business Administration’s (IBA) registrar said that they have a standard mechanism for making the question paper for exams in Sindh, suggesting that the papers should be audited and monitored by a third party while checking and marking should be made foolproof by surveillance through CCTV cameras.
While experts have advised that exam centres should be monitored through CCTV cameras and Rangers officials should also be placed there.
Justice Panhwar while giving his remarks said, “It is the fundamental right of every citizen to gain quality education under Article 25 of the constitution. It has become difficult to survive without higher education”.
The court has now summoned the chairpersons of the educational boards, Sindh Text Book Board chairperson, the managing director of the Sindh education foundation and the boards and universities secretary in a personal capacity, seeking a report from the parties and other relevant institutions by December 11.
