    An investigation by the Counter-Terrorism Department exposed a massive racket involving exam malpractices within the secondary education system in Karachi. The investigation implicated 28 officials from the Board of Intermediate Education Karachi and the education department. These officials colluded with private agents to leak question papers, make fake admit cards, change exam centers, enhance marks, and organize large-scale cheating for financial gain. While corruption is sadly common, the scale of this scandal involving the decimation of the public education system through bribery is shocking. Strong action needs to be taken against those involved to prosecute them and end these illegal practices.

    Exam malpractices

    Editorial Published 40 minutes ago

    IT is a measure of how bankrupt a society is when those


    tasked with educating its younger generation are willing
    to barter the countrys future for profit. An inquiry
    report by the Counter-Terrorism Department has
    exposed a massive racket (noise) in Karachis secondary
    education system The investigation implicates 23
    officials of the Board of Intermediate Education Karachi
    and five education department officials. These
    individuals, in collusion with a private agent mafia,
    were engaged in leaking question papers; making fake
    admit cards to enable fraud; changing examination
    centres as per students choice; enhancing marks post-
    tabulation; organising large-scale cheating; and other
    malpractices to game the examination system. The
    Hyderabad Board has also been found to be culpable to
    some extent. According to the report, there were nine
    private agents who were the intermediaries between the
    board officials/staff and the students. It was a racket
    that minted money for all those playing a role in it.

    While we have sadly become almost blas (Care Free)


    about corruption, there are some scandals that still have
    the capacity to shock and dishearten. This is one of
    them. It is difficult to comprehend the mindset of
    education officials who would participate, for the right
    price, in further decimating this countrys public
    education system. It is not the first time that BIEK has
    been found involved in such illegal activities, and it is
    high time those involved in such practices were
    prosecuted to the full extent of the law. And what to say
    of those students who would take short cuts to success
    and accept plaudits they do not deserve rather than work
    for well-earned accolades? Moreover, those who manage
    to manipulate the system cannot find success in their
    chosen careers, for they will not have acquired
    knowledge, only the know-how of using deceit
    (Dishonest) to achieve their ends. Unfortunately perhaps,
    the use of unethical means by some students also
    discourages the many who apply themselves diligently to
    their studies, those young people who are our hope for
    tomorrow.
