Officers from the Criminal Security General Department in the Ministry of Interior have arrested four individuals for allegedly leaking exam questions. Sources disclosed that those arrested include a female Kuwaiti teacher, two Kuwaiti officials, one of whom holds a degree, and an expatriate employee, all working at the Ministry of Education. Sources confirmed that investigations revealed the teacher leaked the Grade 12 Physics exam paper to the expatriate employee, who then sold it to a private educational institute. The two Kuwaiti officials are accused of leaking the Grade 12 Islamic Education exams.

Investigations are ongoing, and more arrests are expected. The discovery of the suspects was initiated by a student who informed security authorities that he purchased a copy of the exam paper from a private educational institute where he took private tutorials.

The official spokesperson of the Ministry of Education, Ahmed Al-Wahida, expressed gratitude for the collaboration with the Ministry of Interior and commended their swift action in apprehending those involved in the exam leak incident, as reported by Al-Jarida daily.

Al-Wahida reiterated the Ministry’s determination to prevent violations that undermine the educational system’s integrity, negatively impact students, and underscored ongoing reform efforts led by Al-Adwani.
