KARACHI, April 20: The Board of Secondary Education Karachi has closed yet another Secondary School Certificate examination centre, established at the Norwegian Government Boys Secondary School, Azam Basti, Mehmoodabad, Jamshed Town, allegedly for mismanagement and no check on candidates using unfair means during exams. The board also asked the director of schools to take action against the centre superintendent for non-compliance with BSEK directives.

A senior board official said on Friday that the candidates registered at the school centre would report to the Government Boys Secondary School-2, Block-6, PECHS, for future examinations.

Earlier, the board had closed one centre each in Orangi and Nazimabad towns.
