October 27, Colombo (LNW): The Human Rights Commission (HRC) of Sri Lanka is set to convene on 30 October to determine actions concerning the alleged leak of questions from the recent Grade 5 Scholarship Examination.
According to Commissioner Nimal Punchihewa, the Commission has received the investigative report prepared by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), providing a basis for the upcoming deliberations.
In light of the allegations, the HRC has been approached by numerous parties, notably parents of Grade 5 students, expressing concerns over the fairness of the examination process.
In response to these grievances, the HRC promptly initiated its own investigation, seeking to uphold examination integrity and address any potential violations that might impact students’ educational opportunities.
