KARACHI: Rights activist and former premier Benazir Bhutto’s daughter Assefa Bhutto Zardari has called for implementing stricter rules to prevent students from cheating in exams.
Her remarks came in the wake of media reports that organised groups were using WhatsApp, the instant message application for smartphones, to help students cheat in the exams and leak question papers.
“There need to be stricter rules to prevent students from easily cheating. A start should be banning mobiles from exam rooms,” Assefa Bhutto tweeted.
In a press statement yesterday, Sindh Education and Literacy Minister Jam Mehtab Hussain Dahar has directed the Karachi’s Board of Intermediate chairman, Colleges director general and Schools director to take steps to stop the use of unfair means in examinations at all cost and take drastic measure to counter this menace that is destroying our future generations.
This he said while presiding over a meeting here in his Sindh Assembly building office on Friday, said a statement.
