The Standing Committee of the National Assembly has taken note of the leaks reported in Caie (Cambridge Assessment International Education A and O at the level of exams, launching an official investigation and raising doubts about the credibility of the board of directors in the country.
The decision follows a detailed session chaired by the head of the Azeem Zahid committee on Friday morning. The Muhammad legislator Ali Sarfaraz, representative Faisalabad, presented video evidence of disclosed examination documents of the May session, citing students’ testimonies.
“These are undeniable evidence,” said Sarfaraz. “But only a limited number of students from these reprehensible acts. If Cambridge cancels the exams and applies the average classification, many others will suffer. They must either take the papers or lower the threshold. ”
The meeting highlighted an apparent regulatory difference. When asked who watches Cambridge in Pakistan, officials of the Federal Ministry of Education admitted that they do not supervise the British examination organization.
Dr. Ghumalam Ali Mallah, executive director of the Interbor Presidents Committee (IBCC), noted that his organization had not been officially involved in Cambridge Oversight and only learned his responsibility.

“When last year’s newspaper was disclosed, we continued to ask for updates,” said Mallah. “We have never been confident. We discovered a notice of justice. “
The committee concluded the session by forming a sub-comity to probe the examination leaks. The members include Dr. Aleem, Zeb Jafar, Sarfaraz and Dr Mallah. The investigation will start after June 16, at the request of the Pakistani representative of Cambridge, Uzma Yousaf.
Yousaf, who attended the meeting, aroused criticism from the legislators after seeing the blame on local Pakistani councils. “Students come to us because of the performance of local councils,” she said.
Committee members have reprimanded the remarks, stressing that not all Pakistani councils are underperforming and that the accent should not remain on Cambridge’s own problems.
If necessary, the subcommittee can contact Cambridge international offices for a more in-depth investigation. The Standing Committee also expressed its concern about the limited mandate of Cambridge staff in Pakistan.
