The picture says it all. Don’t think it’s a marathon or wall climbing contest. It’s a real pic from one of the examination center in Bihar where parents and friends were helping the students cheat in the exams by providing chits.
It is reported that the police who was in charge of the examination center took bribes and let in parents and friends into the examination center. A total of 14.27lac students appeared for the examination and around 515 debarred in two days for using unfair means, about 7 parents were arrested for helping the students in the examination centre.
"Can the government alone conduct fair exams without the support of society and parents of students?" asks Bihar's education minister PK Shahi.
“The orders to conduct free and fair exams have been given to district magistrates and police officials,” he said but when it was pointed out that even cops were seen helping students, Shahi said, “It may be that even their kin are taking the exams so they may be helping.”
The minister expressed helplessness in taking action even in the remaining exams.
These scenes are not new, last year, more than 200 students were expelled, after being caught cheating in the Class 12 board exam. And more than a dozen parents who helped their children use unfair means were also arrested. But, 75 per cent of the 13 lakh students who appeared, passed the 10th boards exams.
The examination will conclude on March 24, 2015.
The images of the mass cheating went viral on the social media.
