Colombo, Nov 12 (Daily Mirror) - The Secretary to the Ministry of Education has directed officials to conduct an immediate investigation into the second-term general knowledge exam paper given to Grade 12 students at CWW Kannangara Central College in Mathugama.

It was reported that one of the exam papers included five questions related to the electoral performance of the National People's Power (NPP) and its appointments, raising concerns about the content.

The Ministry of Education clarified that the controversial paper was prepared by the school itself, and neither the Ministry nor any affiliated organizations were involved in its preparation.

The Ministry Secretary said that a formal investigation will be carried out at the ministry level, and appropriate action will be taken based on the findings.

It is not etical to include controversial current or past political matters in a school exam paper. The Teacher who prepared the paper must be taken to task and suitably dealt with

Well not sure how wrong it is. If it's a fact then it will fall under general knowledge... I don't see nothing wrong

Yes if questions about other parties/contestants were also included, then it is general knowledge. Not fully partisan.
