Invigilator harassed girls during biology practical.
ISLAMABAD ? More than a dozen college students have accused an examiner, appointed by Federal Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education, of sexual abuse and harassment during biology practical at the prestigious Bahria College.
Sadat Bashir, a teacher at Islamabad Model College for Boys in H-9 sector of Islamabad, allegedly harassed over 80 girls by touching them inappropriately, groping them and threatening to deduct their marks.
One of the ?victims?, Saba Ali took to the social media to share her ordeal: ?We were having our practical[s] of HSC Part 2 of Biology and they conducted it into three different groups. Group 1 had their practical on Friday, group 2 which was our group had practical on Saturday and last group?s practical was on Sunday.?
?We were informed by the first group that the examiner was very strict, didn?t listen to the teachers and he didn?t even let the teachers inside the laboratory where he had harassed many girls by touching them in between their thighs, some of them on their backs and even on their breasts.
?He groped me twice, once when I went for the model recognition and he touched my butt and second when I was making the slides. He came behind me and traced my bra strap all the while pretending he was just examining my slide.
?Thirdly when I was doing my frog dissection he came up to me and asked what kind of a frog it was. I got extremely nervous and told him it was a male frog to which he very inappropriately replied ?It?s a female frog can?t you see the ovaries, you have them inside you too!? the girl added.
?All of this made me extremely uncomfortable and I had no idea what to do. None of us said anything to him because he kept threatening to deduct our marks,? she continued.
Disgusting POS. I am proud of the girls for speaking up but one question, this happened in Ramadan huh? I wonder the people who come up with myriad of excuses for such behavior from “testosterone” to “women’s clothing” what will they blame it on now.
What a pathetic state of affairs, should principal not have been present knowing that the invigilator is a ‘guy’ for girls? There should have been some check and balance by the administration themselves. The poor girls were left vulnerable to the b@stard, barely for few marks in a test they are now scarred for life.
This should be a case study for FBISE for any future such appointments of male examiner in a female-only school/college.
In all cases, there needs to be a female chaperone accompanying the male examiner to avoid any such incidents. What a shameful and disgusting act by this guy.
