ANNOUNCEMENTS on matriculation exam results that have been spread on social media pages are fake, the Department of Myanmar Examinations announced.

The department responded to some fake news saying that the 2024 matriculation exam results would be released on 7 June.

This announcement is just false, and it is an edited report published in last year’s newspaper. The Ministry of Education has requested that it be deleted from social media pages to prevent the spread of fake news.

Concerning the release of the matriculation exam results, respective officials never make the announcement a month in advance, and if it is ready, they release it without delay. False news spreads every year over the matriculation exam results, so everything for the public to know, including the exam results, will be announced without delay, it said.

Only announcements, which would be published by stateowned newspapers, television channels, the department’s website, and Facebook page, are official, so the public needs to be aware of fake news, it urged.

The public can visit the department’s Facebook page to check on the news about the matriculation exam results and verify whether they are correct or not.
