Sri Lankan President Anura Kumara Dissanayake has ordered a two-week suspension of the evaluation of answer sheets for the Grade 5 Scholarship Examination.
According to a press statement from the President’s Media Division, the decision followed discussions held last evening (30th) with a group of parents protesting issues related to the examination.
During these discussions, parents claimed that not five, but eight questions from the Grade 5 Scholarship Examination had been leaked prior to the exam. They requested the President to instruct officials to re-conduct Paper One of the examination.
In response, the President directed that the evaluation process be halted for two weeks to address the concerns raised.
