1. COVID-19 IN PAKISTAN
2. Protests against in-person exams
What’s going on? On Monday, university students gathered outside the University of Management and Technology (UMT) in Lahore to protest against in-person exams. According to the Progressive Students’ Collective (PSC), police arrested its Lahore president, Zubair Siddiqui, who was leading the protest. Later on, PSC tweeted that Siddiqui and some other students were “critically injured” after the Punjab police baton-charged them. Siddiqui returned to the protest after reportedly being taken to the ICU. Students continued protesting despite reports about the police pushing back hard. Police denied the baton-charging allegations, and claimed they didn’t arrest anyone.
The details: Education Minister Shafqat Mahmood said it’s up to universities to decide where and how to conduct exams. However, Mahmood said he’ll ask the Higher Education Commission to consult with vice chancellors at universities to see if online exams are doable considering the unique circumstances this year. He said universities should make sure they have the technical capacity to conduct online exams for all students. He also raised concerns about online exam systems being “misused,” (i.e. it sounds like he’s worried about students cheating).
The context: Student protests have been going on for the past week, mostly in Lahore. Universities conducted online classes after campuses were closed to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Students think exams should be online, since their classes were also online. Students are feeling unprepared for in-person exams, especially since some universities didn’t even complete the full syllabus for different online courses. On Friday, several students from various public and private universities protested outside the Governor’s House to demand the cancelation of in-person exams. According to protesting students, private universities also charged massive fees without completing their syllabus online.
The bottom line: Students are worried about failing their in-person exams after being stuck with low-quality online classes due to COVID-19.
