Students indulging in mass copying; says flying squad head Kangra, March 12 A flying squad, headed by the Deputy Director of Education, Dr R.D. Sharma, today raided different centres in this subdivision and found students indulging in mass copying at some centres. The squad visited examination centres at Sunni, Dhaulatpur and GAV Senior Secondary School, Kangra, where students were involved in copying and five students were caught at GAV Senior Secondary School, Kangra, two in Dhaulatpur and one at Sunni examination centre. Expressing shock at the situation, Dr Sharma said during physics paper of Class XII 58 pages of a book were recovered from a student today. He said, “I am shocked to see helplessness of invigilating staff of Daliara, Bankhandi and Kachiari examination centres in view of the copying at these centres”. He said he has instructed the Principals of these schools to use their personal influence for checking the menace of copying. He said he had detected the 13 cases of copying in these three schools during raids. Dr Sharma said people outside the Bankhandi examination centre were encouraging copying and interfering with the
examination process. When contacted the Chairman of the Himachal Pradesh Board of School Education, Mr B.R. Rahi, said there were 1,500 examination centres in the state and if such cases were found at some centres, these were some stray cases. He denied there was mass copying going on as 72 flying squads were raiding these centres daily and the sensitive examination centres have a four-member flying squad stationed there during the entire duration of the examination. Mr Rahi said 369 students were caught copying during the board examinations of classes VIII, X, XI and XII in the past 10 days. He said in view of the reports of the mass copying at the Government Senior Secondary School, Salyali, the English paper for Class XI held on March 10 had been cancelled and the fresh paper would be held on March 21 in the evening session. He said reports of threatening of the examination staff at this centre besides outside interference was also reported. |
