Education Minister Dr. Ismail Shafiu has stated that this year's Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) Dhivehi paper has not been compromised.

Rumors have been circulating on social media claiming that some parts of the HSC paper were given to students at the Centre for Higher Secondary Education (CHSE) for practice before the exam.

Addressing these concerns, Minister Shafiu told "One" today that there are no issues with the paper and he is 100 percent certain that the paper has not been compromised.

"We have investigated the matter. The paper has not been compromised, the paper has not been leaked. We are 100 percent certain about this," the Minister said.

He also suggested that what has occurred might be a coincidence.
