Position holder students vow to serve country

The position holder students of BA/BSC annual examination on Friday vowed to serve the country after acquiring higher education.

The students expressed these views in a prize distribution ceremony organised by Punjab University (PU) in which Punjab Minister for Education Rana Mashhood was the chief guest. PU Vice Chancellor Dr Mujahid Kamran was also present on the occasion.

Ramla Tayyab, a private candidate who clinched first position in BA exam by scoring 684 marks out of 800, credited her parents and teachers for her success.

She emotionally narrated the story of how hard her father worked to educate her.

“My father used to do two jobs at the same to earn enough money to make both ends meet and bear the expense of my education,” she said.

“The government must provide timely scholarships to the deserving students to facilitate them in acquiring education,” said Ramla, who herself has done different jobs like stitching clothes and teaching students to share the financial burden of her father.

Talking to Pakistan Today, Fasahat Fatima, a student of Punjab College of Science Faisalabad who got 3rd position in BSC exam, said the examination system needs improvement and complained that the invigilators during the exams use harsh language with the candidates.

Fatima further said that a soft revolution is coming in Pakistan and she’ll take part in its progress by pursuing PhD in Mathematics.

Fatima’s aim in life is to be a professor of Mathematics.

Another candidate named Azhar Ali, who grabbed second position in BA exams, told this scribe that he has a plan to take the Central Superior Services (CSS) exam after doing masters in English literature.

Ali, a student of private college in Shahdra area, claimed that his college has produced a number of toppers in the past which motivated him to work hard. He requested the politicians to shun corruption and nepotism for the survival of the country.

“Our current education system needs an overhaul and the essays on the life of Holy Prophet and Caliphs must be made part of English compulsory course,” said Ali.

Hafsa Ghulam Hassan, student of Government College for Women Kasur who took second position in BSC exams, decried the shortage of staff in her college and said that the government must fill the vacant seats in far-flung areas if it really wants to promote education.

“Many students in my area can’t pursue higher education just because of lack of facilities,” Hafsa said while talking to Pakistan Today.

As many as 121,658 candidates appeared in BA/BSc Annual Examination 2015 out of which 48,582 candidates passed the exams while the passing percentage remained 39.93.

Giving details of the result, Controller Examinations Professor Dr Shahid Munir said that out of 121,658 candidates, the result of only 20 candidates is late.

While addressing the ceremony, Education Minister Rana Mashhood said that Pakistan’s future is linked with education and the government will lay foundation stone of country’s first-ever Knowledge Park in February next year to promote research and development.

Later, degrees, shields and cash prizes of rupees one hundred thousand, 75,000 and 50,000 were separately distributed among 1st, 2nd and 3rd position holders of BA/BSc.
