Egypt's top prosecutor referred the leaking of high school Thanawya Amaa exams to the higher national security prosecution for investigation, saying the notorious case impacts the country's “national interests.”
The decision came after Egypt's education ministry voided the standardised high school (Thanaweya Amma) applied math (dynamics) final exam – which students took Sunday – after it was leaked.
Police arrested earlier this month the alleged administrators of Facebook pages that were being used as platforms for leaking final high school exam questions and their answers.
Investigations reportedly revealed that officials at the ministry's printing house were allegedly responsible for the leaks, and the prosecution has ordered their detention pending further investigation.
The final French, Spanish and economics exams were also reportedly leaked online.
