Swat students' conundrum
Swat, Sep 01: The board of intermediate and secondary education (BISE) Malakand covers the districts of Malakand, Dir Lower, Dir Upper, Bajaur Agency and Chitral. Thousands of students appeared in the FA/FSc exams conducted by the board in April-May 2009. However, due to the military operation in Malakand both Part-I and Part-II exams were postponed though one or two exams of both classes were left. The NWFP government then announced a one-year promotion for all matric and FA/FSc students of the Malakand board.
In July, the Malakand board announced the result of FSc Part-II though the result of FSc Part-I was not released. In late August, the board said that FSc Part-I students would have to appear in the exam in November. Thousands of students like me who took the FSc Part-I exam are in a fix as to what is our status now. If we take the exam in November, when will we attend classes for Part-II? Remember that colleges under the Malakand board close for two months in the winter.
With the Part-II exam in April 2010 does the board expect us to take two board exams in six months? Why should we be punished for something that is not of our making? The NWFP chief minister and education minister are both kindly requested to come to your rescue. -Saima Jan, Govt Girls Degree College Khar, Bajaur Agency (The news)
