Education Ministry orders probe on conduct of O/L Exam in leaking classroom

The Education Ministry has called for an inquiry to be conducted into students sitting for the GCE Ordinary Level Examination in flooded and leaking classrooms. 

The directive came following pictures of GCE O/L students who were seen sitting for the examination from leaking classrooms, while holding umbrellas and with soiled answer papers on Tuesday, which went viral on social media.

As per the Ministry, the inquiry will be conducted by the Department of Examinations. The inquiry will also look into classroom selection, the failure to switch classrooms, as well as the failure to report the incident to the Examination Department.
