LAHORE: The Lahore Education Board (LEB) is under fire after a bundle of sociology exam papers reportedly went missing from a marking center. The incident has sparked concerns about the security of examination procedures and prompted calls for a transparent investigation.
Sources within the LEB allege that a bundle containing the sociology part-one papers of 52 students vanished from the marking center. The sources further claim that a complaint regarding the missing papers was filed two days prior to the news surfacing.
LEB officials have reportedly initiated an inquiry into the disappearance. However, this has not quelled concerns, particularly among teachers. The Punjab Teachers’ Union has expressed dissatisfaction with the LEB’s internal inquiry. They are demanding an independent investigation led by someone outside the Education Department, ensuring impartiality and fostering public trust.

The LEB’s response to the teachers’ union’s demand and the outcome of the ongoing inquiry remain to be seen. This incident underscores the need for robust procedures to safeguard exam materials and maintain public confidence in the education system.
