Many years ago, the government had devised a system to test medical and engineering college applicants to determine whether they were eligible for admission. the tests were devised by the Institute of Business Administration, Karachi. As expected, most students of cities other than Karachi didn't pass. In fact, a girl student of Multan also failed, despite having topped in all her school and intermediate exams. Her father died of shock.
But this time, it's the Karachi Board officials (who're from outside Karachi) that have deliberately failed two thirds of Karachi students so that they cannot apply for jobs in government. Incredibly, eighty percent of Larkana students have passed with flying colors, although I can say with certainty that they would fail a matric exam. But then, how can one expect the corrupt Sindh government to do otherwise? The Karachi Building Control Authority was renamed as the Sindh Building Control Authority just to provide more jobs to Sindhi speakers. Out of the twenty five directors, only three are Urdu-speakers.
This blatant victimization of Karachi students should be investigated by judges of the high court.
