Answer:
One in four teenagers think it quite acceptable to use dodging ways to get by in their exams. It is heartbreaking that cheating has become an ever present issue in our educational institutions nowadays. It is so difficult to judge the ability of the students as the examiner is not sure whether the student has passed the exams by learning or used illegal means to get good grades.
The trend of cheating has increased thanks to our flawed examination system. Some books are selected in our obsolete syllabus and the questions in the exams are asked from those books only. As a result many students are unaware of the actual purpose of these books. They only study a few selected portions from them as they believe that education means to get good degrees and excellent jobs.
Students use technically unauthorised material and other unfair means to gain advantage in examinations. Pre-planned cheating also takes place in most examination centres. Students are provided open book guides, solved papers and other kinds of aid from the authorities.
They also use clever techniques such as scribbling with a pencil on the desk, on their fingernails and make strange markings on pieces of paper to make keys for important questions. They also use mobile phones for this purpose.
According to the available facts obtained from the Board of Secondary Education in Karachi, 75 to 98 per cent of college students adopt different ways of cheating. In a government boys’ secondary school in Sharfabad, 32 students were caught using unfair means in examination halls. The Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education, Sukkur, reported 400 cases of cheating. Some 178 to 300 candidates were involved in cheating in Khairpur, Ghotki, Hyderabad and other cities of Sindh
