DSI finds Obec official's identity falsely used to access test papers for recruitment exam for teac
A senior education official's authority was falsely used to access a safety deposit box containing keys to the storage room for test papers used in a recent recruitment exam.
The Office of Basic Education Commission (Obec) had organised the exams to recruit new assistant teachers, but they were reportedly mired with irregularities.
The Department of Special Investigation, which is looking into the alleged irregularities, has found that Obec deputy secretary-general Anan Ra-ngabtook’s name was used in opening the safety deposit box at a TMB Bank branch without his knowledge.
Although only three persons had authorised access to the papers, the exam questions are believed to have been leaked as hundreds of test-takers achieved unusually high scores.
Anan gave evidence to the DSI yesterday and explained how strict procedures were laid down to prevent the leaking of exam questions.
He also gave the names of all those involved in designing and selecting the questions.
The DSI will summon these and other persons for questioning.
