Paper leak: North Central schools several exams suspended


The North Central Provincial Education Department has decided to temporarily suspend the third-term examinations of Grade 11 for schools in the province following reports of several examination papers being leaked before the exam.

The Department said that, however, third-term exams from Grade 06-10 will continue as scheduled. 

The suspension of exams is only for Grade 11 in schools in the North Central Province. 

The move comes after it was reported that two more question papers of the Grade 11 third-term examination of schools in the North Central Province had been leaked before the exam, aside from the Sinhala Literature paper.

The Education Secretary to the North Central Province, Sirimevan Dharmasena confirmed that the Science and English papers had also been leaked. 

Dharmasena said that last morning they had received information that the Sinhala Literature paper had been leaked and that by last evening, they received information that the question papers of exams scheduled for today and tomorrow had also been leaked. 

Stating that a complaint has been filed with the Anuradhapura Police Headquarters in this regard, he said investigations are underway to identify the perpetrators behind the paper leak.

Initially, the Sinhala Literature third term exam paper of Grade 11 school in the North Central Province was found to have been leaked on social media, after which the examination was temporarily suspended.
