The success of our nation must be the result of honest hard work and sincere dedication
KARACHI: As we all know, the secondary and intermediate examinations will begin from March 28, 2017 onwards. These examinations are an important step in shaping the academic lives and future of our students. It has come to my attention that many students have been resorting to cheating which is putting their future at risk. Therefore, I have issued necessary directives and the administration is gearing up to tackle this pressing issue.
Today, I would like to call upon all students and parents to also play an integral part in eliminating this menace. I understand that parents are concerned about their children receiving good and fair marks. However, this cannot justify an evil such as cheating, and it will not be tolerated or excused at any cost. This menace will not only hinder the development of our education sector but will also have a negative effect on the future of our coming generations. Teachers will take corrective measures to stop cheating and all those found involved shall be dealt with harshly, and penalties imposed on all, including invigilators and staff members.
Let us all come together in saving the future of our country from this scourge. The success of our nation must be the result of honest hard work and sincere dedication.
Sindh CM Syed Murad Ali Shah
