Evaluation of 2024 Grade 5 Scholarship Exam Answer Scripts Begins

Date:

The evaluation of the 2024 Grade 5 Scholarship Examination answer scripts commenced last Wednesday (8) after resolving the controversy regarding the alleged leak of the examination paper.

The Examinations Department confirmed that the evaluation process will continue until January 12, with results expected to be released within 40 days.

The controversy arose following claims that three questions in the first paper of the examination, held on September 15, 2024, had been leaked prior to the exam. A group of parents subsequently filed Fundamental Rights Petitions in the Supreme Court, which delivered its judgment on December 31.

The Supreme Court directed the Commissioner General of Examinations to select and implement one of three proposed solutions: awarding free marks for the three disputed questions, removing the three questions entirely, or re-conducting the entire examination. The chosen recommendation has been implemented, enabling the evaluation process to proceed.
