Teacher's sentencing adjourned
A teacher who tampered with her student's Tamil language Primary School Leaving Examination or PSLE papers has had her sentencing adjourned for the third time.
Forty-year old Shanti Krishnasamy, who was teaching at Canberra Primary School, made amendments to the answer scripts 5th October 2007.
She pleaded guilty to three forgery charges in March this year and five other similar ones were taken into consideration.
Shanti forged the pupil's answer scripts to deceive the markers of the PSLE Tamil papers into believing that they were given by the students.
She invigilated the examination before committing the offences.
Shanti's lawyer, Subhas Anandan said, discrepencies in his client's psychiatric reports was one of reasons leading to the adjournment.
A pre-trial conference will be held on the 21st of May to settle these differences.
If convicted of forgery, for each charge, Shanti could be jailed up to seven years and fined.
