The Hon. Chanaka Madugoda
Chanaka Madugoda raised an urgent concern about the ongoing GCE Advanced Level Economics examination, alleging that a significant number of multiple-choice and essay questions matched material from a paid tuition class. He urged the Government, Department of Examinations, Criminal Investigation Department, and relevant agencies to investigate the matter and safeguard the integrity of the A/L examination and students’ futures.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Deputy Chairperson, I will conclude briefly after highlighting an urgent issue. The Advanced Level examination is being held these days. At this very moment there is a problem regarding the Economics question papers. We know that A/L Z-scores determine the students’ futures. Today there is much discussion about the Economics papers. It appears that 24 out of the 50 multiple-choice questions and 5 out of the 10 essay questions were identical to questions provided in a paid tuition class. I request the attention of you, the Government, the Department of Examinations, and all relevant agencies including the Criminal Investigation Department. They are playing with the future of our children. The A/L examination is the most scrutinized and trusted examination in our country. Please ensure its integrity. Thank you for the opportunity, Hon. Deputy Chairperson. I take my seat.
