  • A-level’s Maths exam leaked on May 2

    A-level’s Maths exam leaked on May 2

    It has been revealed that the A Level Mathematics paper to be held in the country on May 2 has been leaked.

    Mehtab Haider of The News reported about many ‘O’ level and ‘A’ level students complaining that a mathematics paper was allegedly leaked on May 2, 2024.
    They said that there was a need to hold an independent inquiry and if it was proved that the paper was leaked, then a fair method should be applied to avoid any kind of a disadvantaged position for students.

    “We have studied days and nights for a whole year and then came out from my examination center and found that the Maths paper held on May 2, 2024 got leaked. It caused headache as I had solved 99 percent correctly,” one aggrieved student told The News on Tuesday. If Cambridge decides to continue with the Maths paper held on May 2, 2024, then its threshold should not be done in a strict manner. “We want fairer treatment in this whole episode,” the student added.

    “We are looking into concerns raised about a potential paper leakage on 02 May 2024 for AS Level Mathematics 9709 Paper 12. This is being investigated, and Cambridge and the British Council are in close communication,” said the British Council in their official response on social media.

    Pakistan’s Ministry of Education also contacted the British Council and they were assured that the investigation was underway with regard to this alleged leakage.

    ‘I don’t think PML-N can clean sweep in elections’: Miftah Ismail

    Former Finance Minister Miftah Ismail has cast doubts over his party’s ability to sweep the upcoming general elections. In an interview with Geo News, the disgruntled Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader said that he believed whether Pakistanis have Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan, PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif, Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Co-Chairman Asif Ali Zardari or martial law, nothing will improve the system until “we make systemic changes”.

    Talking about the upcoming general elections, Miftah said that he doesn’t see any party sweeping the elections; however, the PML-N leader was sure that he “absolutely does not see PML-N sweeping the elections.”

    Miftah said that any political party be it PML-N, PPP or PTI needs to talk to the people of Pakistan asking them about their real problems and needs.

    “When you hear the leaders today, you hear them say that I want to be the prime minister, there is one leader who is more into I, me and myself than others but it is all about them,” he said.

    “Nobody is talking about the people of Pakistan. What about the 60 per cent of people who earn Rs40,000 a month? What about the young people who cannot find jobs? What about the people living in rural areas? What about an average Pakistani child failing in science and mathematics,” he asked.

    Declaring that nobody is talking about real solutions, Miftah Ismail slammed politics as “just a fight for power, nothing else.”

    There are no new ideas and absolutely no competence, he maintained.
