SOME students allegedly shared details from a business studies A-Level paper on a private social media group, it has been reported.

Northern Ireland's exams body, CCEA, is investigating the alleged leak of some parts of its A2 business studies paper which candidates sat on Monday June 12.

CCEA chief executive Justin Edwards confirmed they were "aware of an allegation of malpractice".

The BBC reported that a small number of pupils from two Belfast grammar schools were involved.

Students can be disqualified or lose marks if they have been found to have been involved in exam malpractice.
