Ghulam Hussain Soho has resigned from his position as chairman of the Board of Secondary Education Karachi (BSEK) following serious allegations of mismanagement during the ongoing Secondary School Certificate (SSC) examinations. His resignation came after a committee report, directed by Sindh Universities and Boards Minister Muhammad Ismail Rahoo, recommended his suspension due to irregularities, including unauthorized changes to 170 examination centers. The SSC exams, which began on April 10 for over 385,529 students, faced significant challenges, including reports of cheating and paper leaks that contradicted BSEK's claims of a 'zero tolerance' policy against malpractice. Incidents were reported where private schools in Orangi Town sent students to unauthorized venues, and disciplinary actions were initiated against hundreds of students caught cheating. In response to the situation, Rahoo conducted surprise inspections of examination centers, warning that those involved in malpractice could be blacklisted from future board examinations. Despite the turmoil, Soho stated in his resignation that he had aimed to implement reforms, including automation and improved grievance redressal systems, which he believed were resisted by staff members.
