An enquiry committee of the Education Ministry has identified 11 prime culprits behind the leak of government secondary school assistant teachers' recruitment test questions, reports BSS.
The committee submitted the 32-page findings to Education Minister Nurul Islam Nahid at his office Sunday.

The BG Press staffs are assistant director Khandakar Mohammad Ali, compositors Mohammad Shahidul Islam Fakir and ATM Mostafa, book binders Hamidul Islam and Laboni Begum and pressman Abdul Jalil.
The PSC official is an administrative officer -- Abdur Rouf and the principal is Mahfuza Rahman of Kishorigonj College, Nilphamari.
Mohammad Atiqul Islam, Shafiar Rahman and Arif are from the public whose names had been used to book accommodation at a Rangpur hotel to use it as the den for the illegal activities.
A member of the enquiry committee told reporters that the preliminary findings identified the 11 people on the forefront of the organised crime, but the involvement of the rest of the 167 arrestees are being investigated.
Briefing journalists, the education minister said the committee also found out that a strong syndicate had been engaged in leaking of question papers for different exams since 2003.
"The syndicate is doing this for making their fortune," he said and observed that the syndicate might have vested interests including political motives.
Demanding tough legal action against the crime like leaking of question papers, the minister suggested the Home Ministry to bring the entire syndicate into book so that none dare to repeat such crime.
