The Ceylon Teachers’ Union (CTU) today called on the examinations commissioner to cancel yesterday's scholarship exam with immediate effect and hold a fresh examination.

Speaking at a media breifing today, CTU urged for a fresh examination, following reports of a possible leak in yesterday's scholarship examination paper. Examinations Commissioner W. M. J. Pushpakumara speaking to Daily Mirror said he has handed over the complaints to the CID to conduct an investigation on the matter and added an internal inquiry has also been initiated.
