Crime of leaking exam questions (a comparative study)

مصطفى الجابري

Abstract

During their academic life, learners undergo a number of tests of varying forms, to assess their learning experience through examination questions prepared for this purpose. The importance of preserving examination questions from any potential blemish or breach of confidentiality is highlighted. Several problems have emerged, including: Despite the importance of the subject, to date, we find no text in penal laws, with the exception of Resolution No. 132 of 1996 of the dissolved Revolutionary Command Council. Technological progress has also produced phenomena in which the student may not have played a role in leaking, but has been حharmed by the surrounding environment, which encourages this practice. Furthermore, there is a lack of criminalization of disclosing questions without criminalizing the disclosure of answers, and repetition of vocabulary that conveys a single meaning, rendering the text fragile. Therefore, most legislation has sought to preserve these questions and protect them from any breach. Leakage is a multifaceted problem, both for the diligent student, with the resulting loss of their rights, and for society, with the confusion it will suffer as a result of the state's failure to maintain the confidentiality of the questions. Examination, and we reached a number of proposals, the most important of which is the enactment of a special law concerned with protecting study questions and imposing severe penalties on those who commit them
