Examinations Commissioner makes complaint to CID

The Examination Commissioner General has lodged a complaint with the CID with regard to an incident where a model paper had been provided for the Science question paper number 01 which was held yesterday.

The Ministry of Education previously decided to prohibit the issuing of model papers within one week from an examination to curb examination fraud.

However, a group of parents in Colombo had complained to the Examinations department that a teacher had provided a model paper for the science exam upon which the Examinations Commissioner General has requested the CID to conduct an investigation.

Meanwhile, Secretary of the Lanka Teachers Association stated that investigations should be carried out in to the incidents and the truth should be conveyed to the students.
