Indian students
whose parents climbed a wall to
help them cheat? 600 of them
have been expelled. Bihar education
authorities announced today in a statement.
They said students caught cheating could be
barred from taking the exam for up to three
years, ordered to pay a fine or even sent to jail
but no student on record has ever been sent
to jail in the city for cheating.
About 1.4m 10th graders are taking the tests
at more than 1,200 high schools across the
state. The students must pass the exams to
continue their education and that's why their
parents are so desperate.
"It’s virtually impossible to conduct fair
examinations without the cooperation of
parents," said P.K. Shahi, Bihar’s
education minister. "It is not possible to
monitor the 6 million parents and others
who accompany the students to the
examination centers."
Many students were caught cheating by
education department officials supervising the
examination. About 25 parents were also
arrested after being caught helping their
children. But were later released.
The State education authorities later canceled
examinations held at four centers after they
received reports of large-scale cheating.
