Stop question paper leakage

Leak of examination papers has become a common phenomenon in Bangladesh. Merely doing some research on Facebook can help you get your hands on question papers prior to an exam. A TIB report mentions 63 allegedly leaked JSC and PES exam question papers leakage between 2012 and 2015. This year’s ongoing SSC exam debacle is yet another example.
What is happening to our education system? What will our next generation learn? What will be the future of our hopes?
Lack of proper monitoring is the main reason behind these disasters, in addition to lengthy recruitment processes, unhealthy competition among institutions, lack of proper training among teachers, and abuse of IT resources. These trends are destroying the reserve of intelligence, creativity, and ethical standards in our society.
The govt. should look into the matter seriously. The application of ‘The Public Examinations (Offences) (Amended) Act, 1992’ should be implemented with upper hand. Public awareness should be increased among the common people. We have to make students understand the adverse effects of these practices.
