The Education Ministry has taken plan to bring a section of teachers involved with question paper leakage under surveillance with a view to holding the upcoming Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) examinations peacefully.
The Ministry has already asked all Upazila and District Education officials to intensify their activities to prevent any further question papers leakage, sources said.
Meanwhile, the High officials of the Ministry and chairmen of all Education Boards sat with the law enforcing agencies to nab the persons involved with any irregularities.
The Ministry believes that a group of unscrupulous teachers have been involved with the question papers leakage and selling those for Tk 500 to 5000 apiece.
Education Minister Nurul Islam Nahid told The New Nation on Friday that a section of teachers are responsible for the leak of question papers.
“The question is being leaked over Facebook just after handing it over to teachers on the examination day,” he said.
“We are in such a condition that we can neither disclose everything nor accept. But we will not tolerate these further,” the Minister said.
The authorities are bound to provide question papers two hours before the examination.
So, who are leaking the question, the Minister asked?
“Sincerely, we need teachers with moral norms and values,” he said.
The Education Minister on Wednesday at a press briefing said the teachers who are involved in the leakage of question papers would be brought to justice.
He also urged them (dishonest) to quit teaching for the nation’s sake.
“Question papers of some public examinations were also leaked in the past but those incidents did not come in the limelight as the number of media outlets was very limited at that time,” Nahid said.
He also urged the journalists to come forward and give the government information about the incidents of question papers leakage.
An official of the Ministry told this correspondent that the ministry has already identified those involved in such incidents and they would be held soon.
“The Ministry has prepared a list of the teachers and will hand them over to the law enforcing agencies. It (Ministry) is firm to nab the unscrupulous teachers and bring them under justice,” he said.
It may be mentioned that Dhaka Metropolitan Police arrested nine persons, including a Principal, for their alleged involvement in advertising and selling fake question papers of public examinations from the capital’s Tejgaon area on Tuesday.
The arrested Principal of AM High School and College in Ashulia Md Mozaffar Hossain received the question papers from the Deputy Commissioner’s office of Dhaka.
Later, the Principal sent the question papers to his two colleagues through facebook, viber and whatsup for spreading those among the students and guardians. They took at Tk 500 to 5,000 from the students per question paper.
