Sri Lankan President Anura Kumara Dissanayake has instructed officials to suspend the evaluation of the Grade 5 Scholarship Examination answer scripts for two weeks.
This decision follows a meeting held yesterday afternoon (September 30) at the Presidential Secretariat, where a group of parents protested regarding issues with the recent examination question paper.
During the meeting, the parents requested the President to consider conducting a re-examination for the first paper of the Grade 5 Scholarship Examination, asserting that eight questions were leaked before the exam, rather than the three that were previously acknowledged.
