Kashmir was mentioned as a country in the list
The state’s education department was once again left embarrassed after a Class 7
question paper defined Kashmir as a country. The university had distanced itself
from the controversy and blamed the cyber cafe from where the student got the
admit card printed.Sources claim that continuous goof-ups in the education
department have offended Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar, who may order an
internal probe into the matter.Officials said that the examination was part of
Sarv Shiksha Abhiyan, a Central government programme on elementary education,
and was being conducted by the Bihar Project Education Council (BPEC)
department.In 2015, the Bihar education department was globally criticised after
pictures of a government school in Vaishali district showed people scaling up
window shades and walls to hand over answer chits to students appearing for
board examination while the police on duty helped them.
Kashmir was mentioned as
a country in the list which was distributed across government schools.In 2016,
the state education department was left embarrassed after a school topper, Ruby
Rai, during a TV interview had said that her subject political science was all
about cooking and even pronounced the word political as prodigal.Patna:
Education has been under the lens ever since topper’s scam rocked Bihar.The SIT
had later arrested around 20 persons in connection with the toppers scam."What
are the people of the following countries called?".."The question will not be
taken into account during evaluation. We apologise for the printing error,"
Rajiv Ranjan Prasad, BPEC state programme officer, told reporters. Sources said
that a student appearing for the examination pointed out the error to the
invigilators.Other countries listed in the question paper were China, Nepal,
England and India.The officials associated with the department have, however,
blamed the printing lamination
Manufacturers press and also apologised for the error.Last week, a
university in Bihar had released admit card bearing a picture of Lord Ganesh.The
question paper given to Class 7 students asked them to write about the
nationality of five countries
