To change the conventional methods of the examination system, Aga Khan University -Examination Board (AKU-EB) has created an e-marking system, hoping to put an end to corruption and copy culture in examinations.
AKU-EB is committed to maintaining transparency and confidentiality and to sustain this they have ensured that their assessment and results are reliable and match with international standards. “We aim to provide opportunities for students by being assessed through a fair and transparent system,” said AKU-EB director Dr Shehzad Jeeva.
To make the system more reliable, he said that they have installed CCTV cameras in most of their examination centres and the rest will be completed by May 2017. “Seventy-five per cent of our centres have been covered through CCTV cameras and this will be completed by next year’s examinations,” said Dr Jeeva, adding that currently the e-marking is used to mark Secondary School Certificate and Higher Secondary School Certificate annual exam papers.
