HYDERABAD, Aug 19: The position holders of the Higher Secondary Certificate Part II annual examinations 2002, held by the Board of Intermediate & Secondary Education (BISE), have demanded massive allocation of budget for the educational sector if the government was sincere in improving the standard of education in its institutions.
They said this while speaking to journalists at the press club after the announcement of their results on Monday.
They rejected the present curriculum describing it as outdated and obsolete, and added that it should be brought at par with those of developed countries.
They proposed that theory examinations should be substituted with practical examinations and objective-type questions.
They demanded incentives for teachers of government-run institutions so that they could give the due attention to their students.
They opposed the pre-entry test as it forced the students to prepare themselves for multiple choice questions which they were not accustomed to at the intermediate level.
They also emphasized the need for discouraging the growing demand for tuition and coaching centres across the country.
PRE-ENGINEERING: Faisal Dildar Jamal Ghuman who secured first position said that higher fees were being charged in private institutes just because of the fact that government institutions failed to provide quality education.
He said that the salary structure of teachers of government colleges should be raised forthwith.
He said we were lacking far behind the comity of nations on account of an outdated syllabus being taught to students.
He said that multiple choice question papers should be introduced.
Arsalan Alam and Mohammed Saleem Korai, who shared second positions between them, called for changing the syllabus to bring it at par with those of advanced countries.
They said that there should be more boards of education because the BISE was supposed to cover a very large area.
Amjad Ali, who secured third position, said that corruption in the institutions badly affects the future of students.
Hira Rabel, the second position holder among the girls of the same group, criticized the government for its dual education policy.
PRE-MEDICAL: Khairuddin Memon, who topped in pre-medical, stressed the need for eliminating ‘sifarish’ and corruption in government institutions and called upon the government to give due respect to the merit of students.
Salam Khoja, who secured third position, said, “We are ashamed of the syllabus which was also taught to our parents as well.”
Afshan Jawaid, who topped among girls in the same group, attributed her success to hard work, and the due attention of her parents and teachers.
The second position holder, Beenish, wanted the government to improve the standard of education.
Shabnam Ismail, who obtained third position, called upon the parents, teachers, and the government to realise their responsibilities as mere changes in the syllabus would be useless.
GENERAL GROUP: The position holders of the science general group called for introducing stern measures in government institutions if the standard was to be improved.
The position holders included Moiz Khan, Raza Mohammed, Ghulam Mujtaba Memon, Mohammed Yusuf Khaskheli, Sadaf, and Saba Mubashir.
