Systems in place to stop SSC question leaks via cyber routes, says education minister

Ehsanul Milon says cyber crime units are on standby for “immediate” tracking and response

Education Minister ANM Ehsanul Hoque Milon says the government has put in place measures to counter any attempt to leak Secondary School Certificate (SSC) and equivalent exam questions through digital channels.

He outlined the ministry’s readiness at the International Mother Language Institute in Dhaka’s Segunbagicha on Tuesday after touring several examination halls.

Milon explained that just as some use technology to leak questions, the ministry has experts capable of countering those tools.

He said those involved in attempting to leak question papers can be traced through cyber systems, adding that relevant security and technical teams have already been placed on alert.

The minister also said the contact numbers of officials linked to question paper management have been shared with cyber authorities for rapid response if needed.

"The capacity to locate the source and take necessary action exists within Bangladesh," Milon said.

He added that although these systems were not always used in the past, the country now has the technical expertise and infrastructure, with his team ready to act.

Expressing his resolve to confront the issue, Milon invited those attempting to leak questions to try their luck, saying the administration is ready to face the problem.
