Three teachers were relieved of duty for distributing the wrong question paper during the SSC examination in Shibganj upazila of Chapainawabganj.
The teachers are Abdus Sattar, headmaster of Bagbaria High School; Maksudur Rahman, assistant teacher of Kansat Mahedur Rahman Girls High School; and Mahbubur Rahman, assistant teacher of Daipukuria UC High School.
The incident came to light after a student submitted a written complaint to the upazila administration on Wednesday afternoon.
No chance of question paper leaks in SSC exams: Education Minister
Tahmidur Rahman, a student of Koylardiar High School, said he appeared in the SSC Bangla first paper examination held on Tuesday at the Kansat Soleman Miah Degree College centre.
He alleged that he was given a question paper based on the full 2025 syllabus, which was not the scheduled format for this year’s exam.
He further claimed that despite informing the exam officials immediately after identifying the error, no corrective action was taken. Instead, he was verbally mistreated, and three other students in the same room were also affected, according to the complaint.
Shibganj Upazila Executive Officer Mazharul Islam said the matter was taken seriously after receiving the complaint.
He added that the Rajshahi Education Board has been informed and requested to re-evaluate the answer scripts of the victim students.
Education officials said a swift and transparent investigation is necessary to ensure accountability in such incidents.
