In a shocking turn of events, an investigation done by a team of journalists for six years has shown that more than 30 government jobs and academic board exams in Bangladesh including question papers of the nation’s most competitive exams like Bangladesh Civil Service (BCS) have been leaked for over “a decade”. These incidents of paper leaks are spreading like a contagious epidemic in South Asia’s education system. Paper leaks where exam question papers are disclosed before the scheduled date have become a common phenomenon that disrupts the integrity of individual academic assessments. Historically, these leaks used to be isolated incidents but in recent times they have become a widespread problem that impacts millions of kids and undermines the quality of education.
If one carefully assesses these paper leak incidents in countries like India, Bangladesh, and Pakistan there will be many uncanny similarities both in the procedure and the pattern of the crime.
