Sending in the Cops to Stop Exam Cheats
Tue August 5, 2003 10:25 AM ET
PHNOM PENH (Reuters) - Cambodia deployed hundreds of police, including elite "Flying Tiger" commandos, outside schools across the country on Tuesday to stop students from cheating in national exams.
Roads around state-run colleges in the impoverished southeast Asian nation's capital, Phnom Penh, were sealed off in a bid to stop errant students from throwing their exam sheets out of the window to accomplices waiting below.
In the past, the collaborators have quickly filled in the answers with the aid of a textbook, before wrapping them around a stone and then throwing or catapulting them through the open windows of the exam halls.
"We haven't made any arrests yet, but all the difficult tests such as chemistry or maths are not until this afternoon, so we'll wait and see," said senior police officer Som Sovanarith, standing outside a yellow-bricked French colonial era school.
"We also do this for the safety of students and teachers inside because sometimes the rocks hit people on the head."
After decades of civil war, including the Khmer Rouge genocide of the 1970s in which 1.7 million are believed to have died, Cambodia is suffering a chronic lack of educated workers.
While education is enjoying a consequent boom, there has also been a rise in the level of cheating or bribing of exam officials.
