Large-scale cheating occurred in the northern Indian state of Bihar and more than 1,600 students were expelled for cheating in the senior school examinations this month. The expelled students could be barred from taking an examination for up to three years。 Along with the cheating students, about 100 parents were detained for helping them cheat. They threw into classrooms answers written on paper planes or simply passed study material on to other people walking in and out of the classrooms。 Cheating in exams is fairly common in Bihar, but the number of students caught this time is unprecedented。 Bihar is one of India's poorest states with a 64% literacy rate, one of the lowest in the country. India's literacy rate is 74%. To increase the national education level becomes one of the important subjects for the country。 |
