A serious threat to education

Question paper leaks have become a serious issue in the country. Earlier, the leaks were mainly of SSC, HSC and BCS. Now, even class I papers are not spared. This shocking phenomenon has engulfed the entire nation.

Nowadays, education is marks-centric. It is no longer about grooming the pupils for intellectual growth. Both parents and teachers are to blame for this malice. Parents are more concerned about marks and teachers do not play their due role to curb this disease. If this trend continues, we as a nation will not be able to fully prosper and flourish. And perhaps the scariest thing is that the intellectual crippling of an entire generation is not as far as we thought.
