Teache­rs threat­en boycot­t citing lack of securi­ty arrang­ements at examin­ation centre­sISLAMABAD: In a rather shocking turn of events, a ninth grader physically assaulted an invigilator on Monday after he caught the student cheating during the annual examinations being conducted under the federal education board. The incident happened due to lack of security arrangements made at the examination centers during the ninth and tenth grade examinations in the capital. The enraged student started hurling threats at the deputy superintendent and eventually attacked him with a sharp-edged metal tool, which struck close to the teacher’s left eye. The FGTA president said that superintendents and their deputies must be given the magisterial powers while ninth and tenth grade examinations were underway. It may be mentioned that prior to today’s episode, a firing incident also took place outside an examinations center in the capital’s G-8 area.
