The massive cheating in matriculation examination in all cities of Sindh is a glaring example of collapsing education system of Sindh. While the government and HEC enjoy their sound sleep!

These people when come to power will have absolutely no ethics!

@ Breaking Bad No doubt, Punjab assembly had fake degreeholders but they have been filtered out. The problem is that the filtration process was not allowed in Sindh Assembly. The Registrar of Jamshoro University has recently been suspended for verifying a fake degree. Doesn't it show how "clean" the process in Sindh has been??
