Cheating in exams

Published February 18, 2020

WHILE the annual SSC and HSSC examinations are around the corner, bookstall owners are displaying ‘pocket books’ to attract candidates to facilitate them in cheating in the examinations.

Our education system has been plagued by unfair means in the examinations. It is vital to ensure no bookseller sells such pocket books for the purpose of cheating in examinations.

To make matters worse, teachers too are involved in helping the candidates cheat during examinations. The authorities concerned should take notice of this.
