Through this letter I want to draw the attention of readers towards mass cheating during intermediate exams in Sindh. From the start candidates used books and other material to do paper in Sukkur but the administration has not yet taken any action in this regard. Rampant cheating was also observed during Sindhi exam in Larkana where solved papers were being sold at Rs 100. And yet there has been no vigilance ensured in the examination halls which gave free hand to students who openly used cheating material and mobile phones. The tradition of cheating didn’t break even in 2017. In our country, the education sector is in decline. In fact, it seems that students are also not serious about their studies. Cheating in examination destroys the future of students but no one seems to realise this. At times, even invigilators help students cheat. The standard of education in Sindh has deteriorated over the years because of cheating. If this culture is not eradicated, the education sector will remain in decline. The concerned authorities are requested to look into the matter and resolve the issue. Concrete steps from a primary level should be taken so that no one cheats in an examination.
