The matriculation examinations under the Larkana Board commenced in Shikarpur amid reports of significant irregularities. Despite the enforcement of Section 144 around examination centers, the Sindhi language paper for the ninth grade was leaked, highlighting the persistent challenges posed by cheating mafias in the region.
The prevalence of cheating during matriculation exams has been a recurring issue in Sindh. In previous years, instances of paper leaks and the use of unfair means have been reported in various districts, including Sukkur and Larkana. Authorities have faced criticism for their inability to curb these malpractices effectively.
The continuation of such incidents underscores the need for stringent measures and comprehensive reforms to uphold the integrity of the examination process in the region.
