NI pupils disqualified from A-level exam for sharing questions online
A number of pupils in Northern Ireland have been disqualified from a Sociology A-level exam after the questions were shared online.
Around 15 students from Our Lady's Grammar School, in Newry, are believed to have had their grades cancelled, according to a report from the BBC.
The questions were reportedly shared by a pupil who sat the exam early due to a timetable clash.
The school told the BBC: “We regret to say that there was an incident involving some of our students in relation to one of this year's A2 examinations.
"The matter was dealt with by the school and the examination board in line with JCQ (Joint Council for Qualifications) guidelines and the students involved have been sanctioned.
"There has been no suggestion of any breach of examination or invigilation protocol by the school.
"We in Our Lady's prize our deserved reputation for integrity.
"We also know the importance of care and compassion in times of difficulty and will offer support as needed to the young women involved, all of whose school careers up to this point were without blemish."
