Karachi Board’s Chairman Resigns Amidst Exam Center Irregularities
The chairman of the Board of Secondary Education Karachi (BSEK), Ghulam Hussain Soho, has resigned from his position following an inquiry into irregularities in matric exams.
The inquiry committee, under Sindh Boards Minister Ismail Rahu’s direction, found that exam centers were altered at over 170 locations. The report also implicated several agents including Manzoor Solangi, Imran Butt, Raja Fayyaz, and Miraj Ali.
Immediate suspension of Soho and Exam Controller Ahmed Khan Chhato was recommended by the committee, along with criminal proceedings against them through the Anti-Corruption department. Other board officials were called to face disciplinary measures.
Soho submitted his resignation to the Secretary of the Sindh Boards Department, which will now be forwarded to the controlling authority. The minister stated that no pressure or recommendations would be tolerated and all decisions would be based on the committee’s findings.
