Rawalpindi Board rejects campaign against its Chairman

RAWALPINDI, Oct 11 (APP):The Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education (BISE) Rawalpindi has strongly rejected the campaign to malign its Chairman Muhammad Adnan Khan's reputation based on a video clip, calling it a 'malicious attempt by vested interests'.

Board’s spokesperson Arsalan Cheema, in a statement released on Saturday, revealed that during his three-year tenure, the chairman dismantled the booty mafia (cheating network) from the examination system and established transparent and merit-based reforms.

“By integrating local administration, deploying special branch surveillance and installing online cameras at examination centers, paper leaks were eradicated, ensuring a secure process”, said the spokesman.

He said that under CM Maryam Nawaz’s vision and Education Minister Rana Sikandar Hayat’s guidance, the chairman’s leadership has enforced a zero-tolerance policy, online services like verification, issuance of no-objection certificates, and other services via e-portals, which is a milestone in digital efficiency.

He further highlighted that the educational stakeholders across the division appreciated the chairman’s initiatives. The spokesman affirmed to unmask the propagandists, including ex-employees.

APP learned that a video had gone viral on social media containing the substance related to presumed misappropriation in the education board. However, the spokesman of the board, in a brief interaction with APP, strongly rejected the act and called it a ‘baseless assertion’.
