KARACHI: BSEK drive to check recognition criterion


KARACHI, Dec 5: The Board of Secondary Education Karachi (BSEK) has started inspection of all recognised schools to verify whether they meet its recognition criterion or not.

BSEK Secretary Prof Asif Pasha Siddiqui said on Friday that an inspection team had already paid surprise visits to many schools and checked their records. Some of the schools, he said, failed to provide information about their observance of the recognition standards. Accordingly, the operators of such schools were issued notices and given deadlines to come out with the required information or face de-recognition.

Prof Siddiqui made it clear that students of those schools which failed to meet the BSEK criterion would not be allowed to appear in the board’s examinations.

He said availability of well-equipped Science laboratories, teachers for all subjects and standard-size classrooms, proper record-keeping of enrolled students and school management’s consent to allow their institution’s use as exam centres were some of the conditions of the criterion.

Meanwhile, informed sources told Dawn that a large number of private schools in the city still did not have registration with the relevant directorate and BSEK recognition although it was mandatory upon all the institutions imparting Classes IX and X education. They said that such schools got their students enrolled with the BSEK through some recognised schools, an illegal practice involving illegal charges.
