Suspend results and then probe: CTU

The Ceylon Teachers Union yesterday said that appointing a committee to inquire into the recently released A/L results, was meaningless without the suspension of results. Union Secretary Joseph Stalin in a statement said, “The people have experienced several situations where committees had been appointed in the past whenever a decisive issue surfaces in the country, and these are aimed at suppressing the issues and in other words a delaying tactic. In a situation, of this nature at an examination which decides the future of children, the irresponsible manner in which the authorities had discharged their primary duties is a grave concern and the appointment of such committees would not bring in any tangible results.”
He therefore insisted on suspending the results in its entirety and review them, before appointing the committee. This would dispel fears or suspicions the people have about examinations and results, he said.
