Failed matric students continue protest on 3rd consecutive day

KARACHI: Hundreds of students, failed to pass matric examination, continued protest on third consecutive day outside Board for Secondary Education Karachi (BSEK) on Tuesday.

A week after results for matriculation examinations were announced, hundreds of students flooded the office of the BSEK, claiming unavailability of results on the official website and gazette issued by the Board’s office.

They also protested for taking scrutiny fees, saying that the board had issued incorrect result, therefore, it was inappropriate to collect the said fees.

Meanwhile, Chairman BSEK Anwar Ahmedzai has announced to present answer scripts of the students before the media after scrutiny. He said he himself will scrutinize the copies.

He also announced to refund the scrutiny fees if the board was held responsible for any mistake.
