Man About College was disappointed to hear that three more CAPE Exam Papers have been leaked. Physics, Chemistry and Biology to be sat next week are available online for about the same price the communication studies paper which was leaked last Wednesday.
People should think about their actions. Whoever is selling these papers is most likely an employee at the examination council, or a teacher, as the copies being sold via the internet are actually the final drafts of the examination. The final drafts are circulated for teachers to go through and make sure that everything is ready. This can affect not only students, but the entire region. If this continues to happen then the integrity of CXC could be challenged. International Academic Institutions may begin to have second thoughts about the integrity of the board. CXC needs to do something and quick. There must be some way to deal with the problem.
CXC still haven't decided however what they are going to do about the leaked Comm-Studies Paper, and if they have, they haven't told the public. Man About College would be very distressed however if the examinations begin to lose value. We should be becoming independent and developing as a region, showing the world that good can come out of the region. It would be a shame if we have to go back to Cambridge entirely.
But lets not jump ahead too far. Hopefully CXC has the situation under control, and they have indicated that a backup paper is always done in case of anything. This alternative paper would most likely be used instead.
Many are of the opinion that this is not the first time papers have been leaked. But rather the first time it is publicized. What do you think?

Being a student of the St. Francois Girls' College I would like to say that this is TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. Why should we all have to pay for the sins of the Government? I say the Government because as you all know; they had inexperienced OJT workers handling the papers. Whenever you walk into any Government organization, they literally tile the floors. Is this why the programme was created? Furthermore, when u get an English paper, how can this help you? This only helps if you are good at writing, which I am sure that anyone who thinks they needed to purchase the papers would OBVIOUSLY not have been. Can't the Ministry mark the ones that we worked so hard on already and use result patterns to identify the obvious perpetrators of the crime? Isn't that why they asked the teachers to send in expected grades of each of their students? The percentage of honest students to the ones who cheated I am quite sure is much greater so I think the Government should leave this matter. The Lord always makes the sinners pay. I know that they will get what they deserve. Each and everyone of them. This has been going on for years and I’m sure everyone knew about it so why start to deal with it now? Because it's out in the open and you are subjected to political embarrassment?
