I hate to be so cynical, but it really looks the authorities only (re)acted because of the scandal.
About 300 people have been arrested in the Indian state of Bihar, authorities say, after reports emerged of blatant cheating in school exams.

Parents and friends of students were photographed climbing school walls to pass on answers.

Many of those arrested were parents. At least 750 students have been expelled.

An estimated 1.4m students are taking their school leaving exams in Bihar alone - tests seen as crucial for their chances of a successful career.

The authorities have clearly been embarrassed by the cheating, the BBC's Jill McGivering says, with the episode prompting ridicule on social media.


Students were seen copying answers from smuggled-in note sheets, and police posted outside test centres were even seen being bribed to look the other way.

Agreed. This sort of thing happens all the time in many countries. If it hadn't become mainstream news the 'authorities' would have let it slide like always.

It reminded what i was taking my final exam at high school. Someone tied cheat paper with stone and threw it into the exam room via window. Guess what, it hit the exam taker and it bloody broke his head.
Haha, did the student fail the exam?

If you know a lot, know enough to make them respect you, if you are stupid, be stupid enough so they can pity you.

Maybe, a lot of my friends are now working for the government. Most of them have their own string. I hope they will not repeat the old generation.
