The Ceylon Teachers’ Service Union has brought to the notice of Education Minister that a model Biology paper which a private tuition master distributed among his students in Matara, was similar in most respects to the GCE (A/L) biology paper conducted by the Examinations Department on Aug. 12.
Teachers have told Minister Susil Premjayantha that they suspected a leak.
Six questions in both papers were almost identical, teachers have pointed out. The model paper had been posted by the private tutor to his students two days before the examination.
However, Commissioner General of Examinations Anura Edirisinghe contacted for comment, ruled out any leak. He said simply because some questions in a model paper prepared by a private tuition master were similar to those in the paper prepared by the Examinations Department, a conclusion could not be drawn that the government paper had been leaked.
