Education Minister Nurul Islam Nahid on Saturday urged the guardians to keep their children away from immoral activities like question paper leak.
He also threatened to take stern action against the immoral students saying that no one would be spared if found guilty.
The minister said this while speaking at an inaugural ceremony of a National Conference titled “Achieving Sustainable
Development Goals in Bangladesh: Educational Responses, Challenges and Possibilities” in the Nabab Nawab Ali Chowdhury Senate Bhaban of Dhaka University.
The education minister claimed that the number of candidates getting access to the leaked questions are very small around 5,000 among 20 lakh candidates.
So far, authorities have arrested 157 people and suspended some teachers in this connection, Nahid said while speaking as the chief guest at a programme in Dhaka.
Secretary (Secondary and Higher Education Division) of the Education Ministry Md Sohrab Hossain said, authorities including Bangladesh Bank and law enforcers are working to stop question paper leak in the country.
The leakers leaked the question papers of this year’s SSC examination. They did it hours before the exam started.
Over the last few years, questions of different public examinations have been leaked. With all the government steps to stop the leak spree turning out to be futile, the High Court on February 13 formed two committees — one judicial and another administrative — to find out those responsible and make recommendations for preventing the menace.
