Intermediate result Karachi: Naeem accuses PPP of robbing billions from education budget
Ameer Jamat-e-Islami Karachi Hafiz Naeem-ur-Rehman has accused Bilawal Bhutto and Asif Ali Zardari of robbing billions from the education budget after poor intermediate results. He claimed that 60 per cent of medical and engineering students failed to obtain at least passing marks.
Naeem also rejected scrutiny of papers, saying that the examination papers are not checked properly. He also alleged that the board administration takes money and doesn’t re-check the papers.
Jamat-e-Islami, alongside with students, began a sit-in outside the building on the Intermediate board of Karachi on Friday.
Addressing the protesters, Naeem said the Sindh government has been treating education as child’s play for 35 years. He alleged that Asif Ali Zardari and Bilawal Bhutto Zardari ‘robbed’ the deucation budget of Rs312 billion.
“Karachi runs the country, even the salaried persons of the city pay tax,” he said, adding, “They failed each student in 4 to 5 papers, they separated the education system into elite and middle class.”
Naeem attributed the poor result to a strategy to lure students toward private board, and said, “We know who runs Ziauddin education board.”
Hafiz Naeem also claimed that the Sindh government fills the vacancies of the board with the people they bring from interior Sindh.
“The courts also have to correct their directions,” he said, Naeem’s comments came after the statement of caretaker Chief Minister Sindh Justice retired Maqbool Baqir in which he stated that there is no point in protesting if they have failed.

However, this is not the first time that students have complained about the unfair results, as the ratio of failure is higher than in previous results.
Earlier on January 24, around 2000 matriculation students who had failed earlier were cleared. The Board of Secondary Education Karachi (BSEK) admitted that the students were declared to have failed due to a technical error in the Optical Mark Recognition (OMR) machine.
