Vietnam - School official coordinates exam cheating


A managing board member at Han Hai Nguyen Elementary School in Ho Chi Minh City’s District 11 helped fifth-graders cheat on their recent end-of-semester math test by asking a physical education instructor to bring the test questions out for a group of fifth-grade teachers to answer, according to district education officials.

One of the exam proctors refused to receive the answers and strongly protested the cheating when the instructor returned to distribute them so that they would deliver the responses to the students, the officials said.

Nguyen Le Thu, vice chief of the district’s education board, told Tuoi Tre Friday that investigations had been launched at the school and the grading work had been done under close supervision.

Nothing unsual has yet been found out about the students’ marks when compared to their overall performance during the school year, Thu said, adding there were only 15 out of 200 students earned a maximum score.

So all of the students will not have to do the test gain, she asserted.
