The Evil of Cheating in Examinations
The Evil of Cheating in Examinations
Cheating in examinations has become a very common thing. The scene outside an examination hall can give a clear indication of what is going on inside. There is a crowd of people and each one is busy tearing pages from books or writing answers to be smuggled into the hall. Sometimes even teachers and parents are seen involved in it. How shameful ! These people never pause to chink what good they are doing to anyone. What example they are setting for others ! Recently the Secretary, Board of School Education, Haryana, has done a great job to eradicate this evil. He has taken a number of hard steps which have been quite successful. The deployment of police force outside each examination hall has been helpful to keep the outsiders far away from the examination centres. The local Principal and Headmaster have been asked to see that no teacher tries to help in this cheating. Anybody found doing it is threatened with immediate suspension. Flying squads are sent at random for a surprise checking of the centres. All these steps are laudable and have been welcomed by one and all.
