A major controversy has surfaced in Karachi’s education system, raising serious concerns about exam transparency and fairness.
Sindh Govt Takes Action Over Cheating Allegations
According to Beyond Time News, the Sindh government has suspended three officials from the Karachi Matriculation Board after allegations of cheating and administrative irregularities during ongoing exams.
The suspended individuals include a deputy controller, an assistant controller, and a data entry operator. Authorities took action after receiving reports from the provincial Ministry of Universities and Boards.
Irregularities in Exam Management Under Review
Officials are now reviewing the role of these individuals, especially regarding the transfer of examination centres and staff appointments. These areas have come under scrutiny following complaints of mismanagement during the matric exams.
Moreover, authorities aim to ensure that such issues do not affect the credibility of the examination system in the future.
