Hello friends.. i guess you all heard about the latest scandal. Many hsc papers were leaked! The fact is, there is a website (bl_ckp_pers.info). They provide past exam papers for download FREELY. Thats obviously a very good thing for all the students who wana practice(remember, past exam book have been banned in mauritius).
What happened is that exam papers from Maths, Physics,Chemistry and General Paper were available on the internet in the eve of the exam day. The facebook group of the site(bl_ckp_pers.info) was in great discussion about the questions. No one knew that these question would infact come out the next day. Hundreds of mauritian students had access to those papers before coming in the exam room. And the already disccussed their answers in the facebook group. It is said that they were having discussion with students from pakistan and singapore(whom i believe sat for the exam the previous day). These students realised that the same questions they worked out last nite was in front of them in the exam! (What a luck?? shud i say?)
I tried to find some of the discussions about the LEAKED papers, but as far as i knw they’ve been remove around noon today!
Thousands of students worked hard for two years and prepared for these papers!! and other got the answers before sitting for the papers! Thats pure injustice. Though YOU will agree that if YOU knew that these papers were available, YOU would have been tempted to view them. Thats “human”?? i guess so..
Now that these facts have been revealed, it the MES who’s in deep trouble. Students are manifesting. They dont want the paper to be cancelled just because and “handfull” of students cheated. Also, it wont be nice if those student who viewed these papers the previous day get their papers cancelled because they had no idea that these were infact leaked papers! Moreover, these papers(maths chem, phy, GP) are essential for those who are competing for scolarship!!!
Whats your opinion about this??
What should the MES/Cambridge/Ministre of Education do?
Who should be blamed??
UPDATE : carrotmadman6 has also posted on this topic.
UPADTE : From what lichien Finnet said on the mbc newsflash. It seems that its NOT the papers itself that were leaked, but instead, students from Australia and New Zealand who already sat for those papers started a duscussion topic on facebook and share some of the questions that they remembered. Thats what happend. So now, i dont really knw why Blackpapers.info is into the picture.
Lichien Finnet declared that solutions are being sorted out and the verdict will be revealed soon.

Cambridge xtra en tort la dan. Li kner facile ena communication entre ban eleves mauricien e d’autres pays li pa bzn dne mem papier tu sa pays la. C 1 gran injustice sa. Ena eleves p work hard pendant 2 ans e les autres 1 nuit suffi pu zt exams??? nu pa kpv etre penaliser lakoz les autres… Mai si ena pu re sitit doesnt matter bt justice shd b done…….
I genuinly understand those guys who don’t want 2 re-sit..but its a matter of justice…..We cannot ignore this matter…..Hey guys open ur eyes…this is going 2 affect our society…C toutes notre system educative qui est Dbalanc ……..
id like 2 knw if its only 3 papers dat have been leaked or others also???
I guess re sitting is the only solution though its gona b real hard. I was against zis re sitting stuff bt i dnt fink zer will be another solution.
As Yash has said “better have a well valid certificate than a leaked one…”
But its gona b real hard 2 go n kip stuck wiz our notes and copybooks jst wen we thought finally we r in holidays!!
Its gona b harder 4 zose who do science. i fink zey wil hv 2 re sit 4 3 papers! Nt fair.. Im confident zat iv worked well in maths papers.. nw got 2 re sit 4 maths???? pffff. wat if zis time zey prepare z papers rily tough??? :’(
Nw we’l hv 2 b punished wen its all z fault of cambridge!!
Latest news: Cambridge will find all those who found answers and questions and punish them! Good for them!
Though the exams is already meaningless! It wont reflect true results! We should go for a re-sit! We should ask for it if the authorities decide not to make us re-sit!!!
Btw i dont find Cambridge en tort, c’est la faute a ces éleves qui ont cherché a savoir les questions et reponses avant les papiers. Mais d’une part Cambridge un peu en tort coz on avait proposé de faire les examens worldwide at the same time, 8am in Mauritius and 12pm in Singapour. Actually we used this system for a few years mais it stopped after a while.
Let’s see how Cambridge manages to find everyone who cheated. It’s not easy! The cheaters may have chatted in private, on messenger or via email. Or bouche a oreille…
Voyons voir!
But I think its cambridge ki pli en torr…….Zot ti bizin set a different paper for mauritius…………Pas 2 doute banla p manz nu kass….nune paye zot gro kass…….10000 rupi dan la vie actuel pa gagner kumsa mem…sa….I don’t think zot pu rci gagne every cheaters…….well u never know….
