The Central Provincial Education Department has launched an investigation into the premature release of Grade 10 exam papers for Science, Mathematics, and English ahead of scheduled third term exams, Mawbima newspaper reported.

Provincial Education Director Nihal Alahakoon said a school principal is under investigation for distributing the papers early, in violation of instructions to hold exams only for Grades 10 and 11.

Due to Cyclone Ditwah, schools were advised to distribute papers for Grades 6 to 9 for discussion only, the report said.

The issue was revealed by SJB’s Thilina Bandara Tennakoon, who said the leaked papers surfaced in Kandy days before the exams. He called for a full investigation into how the papers were accessed. (Newswire)
