Caught cheating

By our correspondents

Cheating in the board exams is one of the leading issues in Pakistan. In the recently held SSC examinations, students openly used mobiles phones and notes to solve the paper. The negligence of the concerned department further encouraged students to cheat. Such incidents will continue unless the curriculum is revised and rote learning is abolished.

Students who cheat will become dishonest in their lives. They should avoid cheating during the exams for the sake of their future as well as of the nation. This issue cannot be resolved through government intervention alone. Students must also be taught not to use unfair means to pass an examination.
