Role of Instructions to Sub-examiners for Marking the Scripts

Abstract

Examination is the burning issue of the Educationists. Many researches have been conducted to explore different aspects of Examination. But ‘Role of Instructions’ issued by the Head Examiners for Sub-examiners to mark the scripts still demands the attention of the experts. For this purpose, the authorities of BISE Multan granted permission to look into the matter. It was allowed to overview the Question paper, its concerned Instructions for the Sub-examiners, and 2768 marked scripts by 14 sub-examiners in the subject of Biology at SSC level in the security room of Board’s premises. Item-wise, and Question wise data were transferred from the scripts to the proforma designed under the instructions of the Head Examiner. It was found that sub-examiners did not care the ‘Instructions’ and sometimes Head Examiners commit blunders due to which students suffer a lot, but they are unaware of such sufferings.
