Exam papers at an Mcast ICT exam had to be collected immediately after it was found that the answers were attached.

Labour MP Evarist Bartolo asked Education Minister Dolores Cristina whether the students had confirmed that a lecturer had given then the answers to exam questions before the exam was held.

Replying, the minister said the students had not denied that this episode took place. What took place was while the exam was underway. When the lecturer realised that the replies were attached to the exam papers, the papers were collected immediately.

An inquiry was held and the annual increment to the salary of the lecturer involved was withheld. The lecturer has also been moved to another institute and is teaching at a lower level.
