Sir,
The Jammu and Kashmir State Board of School Education is conducting the Annual examinations for the candidates of both Secondery School Examination (10th class) and Higher Secondery Part 2nd ( 12th class) belonging to both the summer and the winter zones of the State.Almost every day newspapers carry reports of the students indulging themselves in copying to get through the examinations.The national news channels also flashed reports of students resorting to mass copying with the help of their parents, guardians and friends in some parts of Bihar.Thus,this menace is not confined to our state only.It is a deep rooted malaise which is eating into the vitals of our educational system across the nation.The students who are not motivated by their parents and teachers to pursue knowledge with a focussed mind and whose only objective is to pass the examinations by resorting to fair or foul means can hardly succeed in life.The present age is a highly competitive age and it is duty of the teachers,parents, educationists, Government and the society at large to play their role to curb this menace.The School Education Boards ought to constitute more flying and vigilance squads of officers of proven integrity to check this menace and the teachers and the officials of the Boards found involved in encouraging this practice need to be awarded heavy punishment to give a strong message that such a practice is intolerable from those who are entrusted with ensuring the sanctity of exams by effectively checking malpractices in the Examination Halls.Unless strict measures are taken to curb this menace,the real and noble objective of education to equip the students with sound knowledge and necessary skills can not be achieved and we would be producing a generation of simply literate and not educated youth who will be ill equipped to face the challanges of the fast changing and highly competitive age.
Yours etc….
