One of the worst examples of these decisions came on Saturday when the Urdu paper was suddenly withdrawn without any prior notice for the annual examinations of thousands of fourth and fifth grade students in hundreds of primary schools in Central District. While at the beginning of the annual exams, under the self-implemented centralized examination system, the Urdu paper of both parties was taken, but on Saturday, as soon as the students finished giving their last paper of the relevant subject as per the schedule, they were given it in the schools.

These orders were so sudden. The students were also not informed that the Urdu paper would have to be given once again, however, when the students were instructed to stop after the last paper held as per the schedule and give the Urdu exam once again, they were surprised.

Reports were received from most of the schools that the students said that “we had given this paper at the beginning of the annual exams, now we are not prepared enough to give this paper again without reading it”. However, despite this complaint of the students, On the direction of the EO, the schools forced them to give the Urdu paper again. “Express” tried to contact the DEO Central Tahseen Fatima several times about this situation, but she did not answer the phone.

Speaking Director School Education Primary also remains indifferent to the affairs of the schools of the said district and all higher officials are silent on the issue of implementation of Board style centralized examination system in primary schools of central district.

In addition, in this regard, “Express” contacted the Deputy District Officer of Central District, Arshad Ali, and asked him the reason for taking the Urdu paper again. Violation was reported on the basis of which this decision was taken. He was further asked if the students had any information regarding re-taking of the paper, to which he said ask the DEO, I can’t say anything.
