‘Govt is not responsible for question paper leak’

The chairman of a parliamentary standing committee today said neither the government nor the respective committee or the respective ministry is responsible for leak of the question papers of Class one to four.

“We do not know how or what is the reason behind the question paper leak of Class I to IV. However, we have instructed the respective authorities to identify the reasons and persons behind the question paper leak,” Motahar Hossain said at a press conference at the Jatiya Sangsad media center.

The chief of the parliamentary watchdog was briefing the reporters after a meeting of the parliamentary standing committee on primary and mass education.

He said the primary and the mass education ministry does not prepare question papers of class one to four to 4.

It is the teacher’s association which formulates the question and therefore the government is in no way responsible for the question paper leak, Motahar said.

AKM Jahangir Hossain, a member of the parliamentary standing committee on primary and mass education, said when he appeared before the SSC examination in 1965, there was question paper leak even at that time.

Therefore, question paper leak is nothing new, he added.
