Police secure Purwakarta tests

PURWAKARTA, West Java: The education office here has employed 19 policemen to take part as official organizers of the national school exams here due to be taken by local students on June 11 to June 13.

Their participation is primarily to help beef up security and ensure there are no leaks in the exam material.

"At least 10 police officers are included in the organizing committee," Akun Kurniadi, who heads the committee, said as quoted by Antara on Saturday.

He admitted that there were concerns particularly involving the distribution of the exam questions which will be distributed across schools in the regency a day before the exams begin.

Nevertheless he insisted that in past years there have never been leaks in the Purwakarta area.
