Grade 5 scholarship exam paper leak : New SC order
The Supreme Court of Sri Lanka has ordered the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) to submit a detailed report on the investigation into the leaking of questions from the 2024 Grade 05 Scholarship Examination.
The CID has been ordered by the court to submit a detailed report on the investigation by 09.00 am tomorrow (Dec 19).
The Grade 05 Scholarship Examination was held in September with 323,879 students sitting for the exam.
A practice paper with questions similar to some of the questions in the first paper of the scholarship exam was circulated by a tuition teacher in the Alawwa area prior to the exam.
The Department of Examinations launched an investigation into the matter following complaints filed by various parties, while a complaint was also lodged by a Deputy Commissioner of the Department, prompting an investigation by the CID.
The Police thereafter, arrested two suspects in connection with the alleged leaking of questions from the Grade 5 scholarship exam.
