Probe body formed
The authorities on Tuesday formed a three-member probe committee to investigate the allegation of mass copying during Sunday’s Primary Education Completion Examination (PECE) at Kamalerpara High School centre in Saghata upazila.
The committee, comprising Saghata Upazila Secondary Education Officer Ahsan Habib as convenor, and Upazila Primary Education Officer Azizul Islam and Upazila Resource Centre’s Instructor Saju Mia as members, has been asked to submit report within three working days.
According to eyewitnesses, mass copying marked Sunday’s PECE examination of mathematics at Kamalerpara High School centre, where guardians were seen supplying copies to the PECE examinees while the invigilators intentionally overlooked the matter.
Upazila Education Officer Azizul Islam admitted receiving the complaint.
“Some guardians got involved in supplying copies to the examinees, which is not desirable at all. If such practice is allowed, good students will lose interest in study,” said Mizanur Rahman, a guardian.
Contacted, District Primary Education Officer Hossain Ali said, “After getting the probe committee report, action will be taken against the perpetrators for creating disorder in the examination hall.”
