Egypt- Third thanaweya amma exam leaked despite arrests


(MENAFN- Daily News Egypt) New leaks of the nationwide thanaweya amma secondary school exams have surfaced on Facebook Tuesday morning, as Prime Minister Sherif Ismail headed to the Ministry of Education headquarters to further look into the matter.

The page, ShawMing, first posted photographs of the English exam at 9.25am, followed by a series of posts that outlined the answers to each section of the test that began at 9am.

Students have been interacting and commenting on the posts since, sharing answers to sections the page has yet to post.

This comes in spite of a statement made by the Ministry of Interior on Monday afternoon claiming that they have apprehended the individuals behind the leaks.

The statement said that two students claimed responsibility for running the Facebook page.

Twelve officials from the Ministry of Education were also arrested on Monday in connection with the leaks.

On Sunday, Arabic-language and religious studies exams were leaked before the start of the exams, which resulted in one of the exams being rescheduled.

Members of parliament are holding Minister of Education Al-Helaly Al-Sherbiny directly responsible for the leaks and have called for his resignation and for him to be summoned for questioning.

After similar incidents last year, President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi issued a decree that stipulated a fine ranging from EGP 20,00050,000 and prospective jail time for those who leak exam papers.
