What an idea!
About 50 students of a pre-university college in Karnataka were forced to wear cartons to avoid copying in exams. The shocking incident, which took place last Wednesday, came to light when a video clip showing students of the co-educated private college writing the exams wearing cartons ostensibly to prevent them copying went viral on the social media.

No peeping please!
The front side of the cartons were, however, were cut for the students to breathe and see but not peep left or right to see the answer sheets of the other students seated on the same bench.

The Ethics and Values teacher at a school in Tlaxcala, Luis Juarez Texis (pictured at the back of the class), was probably the first to use this out-of-the-box idea to stop his students cheating during exams. He faced a parent backlash for putting cardboard boxes on their heads

Blink and you get caught
This picture was taken at Kasetsart University in Bangkok where teachers created special 'blinkers' for their students to stop them cheating. Kasetsart University is a public university, ranked one of the best in Thailand and with a focus on agriculture, food, technology and innovation.

Today a student was caught cheating in sahiwal in his intermediate exam. He had an ear implant connected to a cell phone which he managed to hid it under his arm somehow. He managed to do all this by the help of a local dispenser.

They should be allowed to cheat ..

Apology after Indian students wear cardboard boxes for exams

ANI
The photographs drew mockery and scorn on social media
An Indian school official has apologised after a bizarre set of images went viral showing students wearing cardboard boxes on their heads.

The images were taken during a chemistry exam at Bhagat Pre-University College in Haveri, Karnataka state.

They showed students wearing boxes, cut open on one side, to prevent them from being able to copy other people's work.

A junior college administrator has spoken publicly and apologised to district officials for the incident.

MB Satish told BBC Hindi he was sorry for trying to use the unusual anti-cheating technique.

He said the school has only implemented the measure on an "experimental basis" after hearing of its use elsewhere.

The school official said he had heard of the technique being used in Mumbai
He also insisted it had been done with the students' consent - in fact they had brought in their own boxes.

"There was no compulsion of any kind. You can see in the photograph that some students were not wearing it," he said. "Some who wore it removed it after 15 minutes, some after 20 minutes and we ourselves asked them to remove it after one hour."

Regional officials reportedly rushed to the school to complain as soon as they were made aware of the images.

SC Peerjade, deputy director of the local pre-University Education Board, described the practice as "inhumane".

"When I got a message on this, I immediately went to the college and ordered the management to stop the practice," he was quoted by the Times of India as saying. "I also issued a notice to the college management and am contemplating disciplinary action against them for implementing this idea."

School officials have said they have ceased the practice and are co-operating with the school board's directive.

Students at Bhagat Pre-University College in the town of Haveri, Karnataka state, reportedly wore the cartons while sitting a chemistry test on Wednesday.

Photos showed with boxes on their heads with square holes cut out to allow them to see their exam papers.

India has seen a string of cheating scandals across recent years.

In 2015, parents risked their lives by climbing school buildings in Bihar state to help their children cheat in the country’s equivalent to GCSEs.

seems like a good way to hide ear pieces.

Very disruptive during the examination

although this is crazy idea but I guess they have no other option but this. During my times at school and college during 80s and 90s, there was some cheating but we always knew its only 5-6 students out off 40.

India's education system since 1947 has been mostly about marks and how to achieve them via ratta-fying ( memorizing ) the syllabus. This must change.
