CHANDPUR, Oct 01 (UNB): No question paper of Secondary School Certificate (SSC) and equivalent examinations was leaked this year, said Education Minister Dipu Moni on Saturday.

"As we adopted technological means, no question paper of SSC exams was leaked in the last four years," the minister told local journalists after attending a programme on social harmony in Chandpur sadar upazila.

She, however, said what happened in Dinajpur is regrettable.

"Secretary of an examination centre took packets containing question papers of different subjects altogether. A probe is underway to identify the reason behind it and the centre secretary and headmaster has been suspended," said Dipu Moni.

Legal action will be taken against him, she added.

On September 21, SSC examinations on four subjects under the Dinajpur Education Board were postponed as copies of English 1st paper and 2nd paper of the ongoing SSC examinations went viral on Facebook and WhatsApp.

Dinajpur Board also formed a three-member probe committee headed by Prof Faraz Uddin Talukdar, college inspector of the Education Board, to investigate the incident.

Earlier on September 20, three schoolteachers, including Lutfur Rahman, the headmaster and secretary of Bhurungamari Nehal Uddin Pilot High School centre, and two assistant teachers of the school - Zubaiyer Hossain and Aminur Rahman - were arrested in this connection.
