A parliamentary committee was informed that the alleged leakage of O/A Level Cambridge examination papers likely originated from outside Pakistan.
The National Assembly Standing Committee on Federal Education and Professional Training was told that the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) found no evidence that the leakage originated from Pakistan.
However, the NCCIA informed the committee that it does not have direct access to servers located abroad. This limits its ability to independently determine the source, location and mechanism of any alleged leakage involving overseas servers.
The government had ordered an investigation in May into the alleged leakage of Cambridge examination papers following concerns raised by students and parents. The NCCIA was directed to investigate the matter in coordination with Cambridge Assessment International Education (CAIE).
The committee also expressed concern over the growing use and supply of narcotics in educational institutions. It called for stronger coordination between the Anti-Narcotics Force (ANF), police, Higher Education Commission (HEC) and Federal Directorate of Education (FDE).
The committee sought verified data on drug-related cases in educational institutions, including action taken, coordination mechanisms and penalties imposed on those involved.
Meanwhile, the committee called for stronger measures to support students with dyslexia. The Federal Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education (FBISE) said it had introduced additional examination time and reading assistance for students requiring such support.
The Inter Boards Coordination Commission (IBCC) said it would coordinate with examination boards across the country to promote uniform facilities and support for students with dyslexia.
