HSC Question Leak

Probe body given 15 more days

Staff Correspondent
The government committee probing the leak of English second paper question paper of the ongoing Higher Secondary Certificate exams has been given 15 more days to identify those responsible.
The Dhaka Education Board postponed the exam on April 9 following reports of the question paper leak. Other boards held the exam the next day as per the schedule.
The education ministry extended the time given for the investigation for the second time yesterday as the probe body failed to make any breakthrough even in 30 working days after its formation.
"We have given the additional time so that the committee can find out who are the real culprits behind the leak. We don’t want to be hasty in this regard," Education Minister Nurul Islam Nahid told reporters at the ministry.
He, however, refuted the allegations
of question paper leak of mathematics first paper held on Sunday.
Many people are saying that question papers are being leaked out, but they are not giving details as to who are leaking the papers and how, Nahid said.
The people engaged in “coaching businesses" might have been involved in the leak, he said at another event.
"Attempts were made to leak the question papers through social media to put the government in an embarrassing situation," he told reporters after the signing ceremony of transferring the authority of all secondary schools in three Chittagong hill districts to the CHT district councils.
The probe body will talk to some experts in information technology on how to stop such crimes, Education Secretary Muhammed Sadique said.
Sources in the ministry, however, said the slow progress of the investigation only gave the hint that the committee would not be able to identify

the masterminds behind the leak.
The ministry formed the sevenmember high-powered committee led by its Additional Secretary Sohrab Hossain on April 10 to probe the leak and submit a report within 15 working days.
The committee members were asked to recommend measures to ensure security of question papers of all public exams held by the ministry.
One of them said the committee might recommend formulating separate question papers for each education board, holding two exams a day, modernising the packaging system for question papers and making the steps from preparing questions to printing them secure.
The committee has already asked Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission to trace those who uploaded the questions on the internet, the committee member said.
