KARACHI, Feb 8: The students of various schools staged a demonstration in front of Karachi Press Club on Thursday to protest against the Sindh Education Minister’s decision of holding composite examination for class IX and X.
They carried placards and banners inscribed with slogans against the government’s decision and demanded the decision’s withdrawal. The rally was organised under the Private Schools Management Association auspices
Addressing the gathering, the association’s Senior Vice President, Sharfuz Zaman said instead of studying the education policies of neighbouring countries and formulating one to match the country’s literacy rate and promote education, students were facing hurdles in attaining education and the composite exam system was yet another stumbling block on the path to progress.
In a seminar held to protest against imposing composite exam system, former city nazim Naimatullah Khan said the country’s rulers were not sincere in spreading education and this decision had created a sense of deprivation among students.
Addressing the seminar organised by Islami Jamiat Talaba, Mr Khan said imposition of questionable policy was misuse of power and the government’s silence on the issue was alarming.
