  1. The authorities also need to find out the source of the leaked paper and how this teacher had possession of the same when the papers are always under guard with two locks and keys from two different people.

  2. The accused teacher and pupils should be severely punished to deter others from doing the same. These are the people knowingly sabotaging our country’s education system. They should be regarded as traitors. In fact all forms of corruption should be considered acts of sabotage and deserve the worst kind of punishment.
