Govt firm against 'copy culture' says Anita

KARACHI: The provincial government is determined to eradicate "copy culture" by not allowing any student to resort to unfair means in exam. This was stated by Sindh Education Minister Anita Ghulam Ali, while presiding over a meeting of the Educational Department officials here on Sunday, aimed at monitoring the conduct of annual examination for IX and X classes (SSC), being held in Sindh from March 01.

She directed strict action against the candidates appearing in the examinations in case of resorting to unfair means. She also warned teachers of strict action if found involved in providing any assistance for use of unfair means in examination.

The eradication of copy culture is necessary for encouraging the hard working students and for meaningful education, said Sindh Education Minister while directing the Education Department officials to remain vigilant. APP
