Results of class 10th and 2nd year have been announced. First of all congratulations to all the students who have secured good marks. They can’t be blamed. COVID-19-,although has wracked havoc all over the world, but in Pakistan it has proven itself a blessing in disguise especially for the students. Firstly, Government decided not to take exams then all of a sudden ,we saw a notification according to which all the students would have to pass only elective subjects. Exams started, students attempted their papers and were waiting for their results. Before two days from results, Government came again to surprise us with their enigmatic decision, this time their surprise was jaw-dropping because they had decided to pass all the students.
Everything was going right hitherto. Then they declared results and what we saw that more than 80% students have got 1000+ marks. Parents are happy, children are over the moon and govt also feels happy seeing them happy.
Here the conflict arises. Giving more than 1000 marks to the students who haven’t taken their classes regularly doesn’t make any sense. If a student can take 1000 marks without taking classes regularly then why those students taking classes regularly before COVID-19 weren’t able to secure such hefty marks(They should have taken more than the total marks). Can we say that it’s not indispensable to take classes for getting high marks? Or they should have prayed for any pandemic? Anyhow, Students and their parents have been given a poisoned chalice, ramifications of this will be ghastly not only for the students but also for the expectations of parents.
Results have raised some serious questions:
1_ Why should we go to school to get higher marks if we can get marks sitting at home?
2_ Why should we attempt all papers if 1000+ marks can be gotten only attempting elective subjects?
3_Do we need to pray for any pandemic if we want to pass exams easily?
4_Getting more than 70 marks in English was impossible in past,how has it been possible now to get 72,73,74 out of 75 in English despite not attending classes regularly?
5_Is it not important to go to schools for taking classes?
6_Which method has been used to fabricate these results?
