(Lanka-e-News -26.Aug.2012, 10.00PM) The Govt. , and its education Ministers must hang their heads in shame because of their absolute incapacity to safeguard and sustain the educational standards of the country . Never in SL's history has the children’s education made to suffer so much as with this Govt. Once again it is reported that the G C E advanced level examination this year too has been muddled – the questions in the Buddhist culture paper for the exam held on the 25th had leaked out before the exam commenced. These questions had been displayed via posters at various districts. On the walls of the Matugama Kannangara MV and St. Mary’s school these posters had been displayed under the caption ‘ A/L B. C. paper leaks out’. Later when the exam was conducted for the students ,the same questions had been in the question papers. The students say , the question papers surely have leaked out before the exam.
This had come to light first through a telephone call received by a student from a private Broadcasting channel. The students allege that the questions which were in the posters are the identical questions which were in the question papers given to them in the exam Hall -
1.Write the difference between devotion and piety 2. What are the distinguishing qualities of a Buddha ?
3. What are the methodologies of Buddha’s preaching ? 4. Reclusion .
These questions were in the posters displayed before the exam as well as in the question papers at the exam.
