KARACHI:
On the second day of the Secondary School Certificate exams, students of the Aziz Government Boys Secondary School staged a protest in its premises during exam hours.
The school is one of the five institutes whose principals failed to submit the exam forms of around 300 students. However, despite the protest, the Board of Secondary Education Karachi (BSEK) refused to accommodate the students at the eleventh hour.
Meanwhile, over hundred students also gathered outside the BSEK to protest a failure to receive admit cards as they claimed that the person responsible for submitting their forms committed suicide.
The protestors representing the schools, requested the authorities to consider their case and allow the 117 affected students to sit the exams.
Students from the Pak Grammar School also camped outside the office. “Our principal took our forms and the registration fee from us and now he is nowhere to be found,” said a protesting student. “We have not yet reached a decision for the students protesting for their admit cards,” said BSEK complaint cell incharge Abdul Fahim Khan.
