扣除final scores after being caught attempting to inflate their grades.
The disclosure披露 comes amid fears that pupils are going to increasingly sophisticated lengths to cheat. Experts have warned that data can easily be stored on iPods and MP3 players while most mobile phones now provide direct access to the internet. Pupils can also buy equipment such as concealed ear-pieces on specialist websites.
Technology firms are now targeting schools with detection equipment designed to identify pupils’texting, sending e-mails or searching the internet during exams.
Jim Sinclair, director of the Joint Council for Qualifications, which represents exam boards, said:
“JCQ members take a zero tolerance approach to all forms of cheating in examinations including the possession of unauthorized items such as mobile phones, iPods and MP3 players.
“Cheating in an examination is an infringement违反of the regulations and may lead to disqualification from the current examination and the overall qualification.”
Figures from Coequal show that 4,415 penalties were handed out to GCSE and A-level students in England, Wales and Northern Irelands last summer, compared with 4,156 a year earlier.
Almost half of cheats were caught with “unauthorized material” in the exam hall. Acco rding to officials, this included notes in the wrong format出版物之开本;版式, study guides, dictionaries and calculators. More than 1,000 students were caught copying from other candidates, while 539 pupils were thrown out for “disruptive破坏性的; 引起混乱的behavior” and swearing发誓;宣誓in exam rooms.
Officials reported a 10 per cent rise in the number of students penalized for writing “offensive讨厌的, 无礼的, 攻击性的or obscene猥亵的;” notes on test papers or coursework – from 318 to 349.
In almost half of all cases, students lost marks, while one-in-six candidates were disqualified. A third of students were issued with a warning.
However, officials insisted that the number of cheats represented only a tiny fraction of exam taken –just 0.03 per cent.
Coequal’s report also reveals that 88 penalties were issued to teachers and other exam staff –an increase of almost a third in just 12 months.
“The majority of these penalties were issued as a result of staff giving inappropriate assistance to candidates,” said the watchdog.
A further 70 schools and colleges were warned after failing to follow the strict requirements of exam boards –a rise of more than a third compared with 2008.
Reasons included schools failing to “adhere to the requirements of an examination, such as opening question papers early without authorization, allowing candidates to sit an examination at an incorrect time and the lack of appropriate invigilation”, according to Coequal.
A spokesman for the Department for Children, Schools and Families said instances of malpractice are still "extremely rare".
"We are absolutely clear that any kind of cheating in exams is unacceptable," he said.
"Coequal and the awarding bodies take all allegations of cheating extremely seriously to ensure the exam system is not compromised
As long as there is exam, the practice of cheating will continue."
Now the score is not a fair judge.
But while we can steal answers, we cannot steal knowledge
We are not given score for moral values, if we are, I believe less people will cheating on exams.
To stop cheating is file work for both the teachers and the students. For the teachers, they should attach
great importance to the test of the ability of using the knowledge to solve problems rather than the mechanical memory of textbooks. For the students,
it is necessary to realize that cheating in exams is shameful conduct, and the future is full of sharp
competition and any success achieved by cheating won't last long. So let us make a cheating-free campus and establish an honest academic atmosphere for today and tomorrow.
High-tech Used for Cheating in Examination
Adjust font size:
Chinese college students almost unanimously agree that the CET is the most important examination.
So in recent years, various high-tech devices have been used to cheat on the CET exam across the country.
The College English Test Band 4 and Band 6 (CET-4 and
CET-6) are national standardized examinations required by the Ministry of Education to evaluate college students' English
proficiency.
Although the Ministry of Education does not indicate the status of the exam, most universities peg the exam results to students' graduation and degree certificates.
The CET certificates are also widely accepted by employers as reliable proof of graduates' English proficiency.
During the most recent CET examination, conducted on Saturday, the Examination Authority of central China's Hubei Province received about 100 reports of cheating, despite repeated warnings issued to students before the examination. The authority found that students racked their brains to figure out how to use various high-tech devices such as cell phones, interphones and wireless earphones to cheat. Some students were even injured by low quality devices.
According to Chu titan Metropolis Daily, a student in Wuhan used a "micro earphone" which is 3 mm in diameter to cheat. The earphone is so tiny that it slipped into the student's auditory canal, causing a perforation of the tympanic鼓室membrane.薄膜
Another student got a set of micro earphones stuck in his ears and needed an operation to remove them.
An interphone hidden in a student's abdomen caused bleeding when it exploded.
Examination authorities found more than 100 cheating tools in an examination room at Hue Hong University of Science and Technology Wuhan Branch in Wuhan. The gadgets灵巧用品,设备,零件included laptops, interphones and micro earphones as well as earphones hidden in vests, wallets and waistbands腰带,束腰带.
Also, the Hubei Examination Authority admitted on Sunday that the answers might have been revealed before the exam, and police are still investigating the case.
School leaders punished
Some school leaders in northwest China's Shaanxi Province were punished for fraud following this year's college entrance examination.
Li pong yon and née Win fang, principal and deputy principal of Yang Xian High School, were suspended from work and
awaited further punishment after they were found responsible in a cheating case during national annual college entrance examination on June 7 and 8, the local government said at a press conference on Saturday in Yang Xian County in southern Shaanxi.
"Further investigation is ongoing, and stern punishment will be given to the persons who are responsible for the case," Sun Jiangsu, the county secretary of Chinese Communist Party and head of the case investigation group, said at the press conference.
Four students were caught taking the entrance exam for others, and Li and Née were found responsible.

Fraud hits CET-4 test again
()
Updated: 2006-12-24 10:19
Candidates taking the College English Test Band Four (CET-4) at the North China University of Technology in Beijing on Saturday heard on their earphones not only questions for listening comprehension, but also murmurs of the answers, according to a Beijing News report.
A senior from the university told a reporter
anonymously that as the listening test began,
along with the questions, a strange voice was
broadcast to his earphones. It lasted until the end
of the section, he said, adding that he identified
the voice as giving the answers to the test.
After completing the test, the student learned
from his friends testing in other classrooms that
the voice had been broadcast to all of them.
He said some people had advertised on the
school's bulletin board and online BBS before the
test for the sale of a mini-earphone to cheat ¡ªa
fact that was confirmed by the reporter.
In a random survey conducted after the test, all
of the interviewees expressed hearing the voice.
Moreover, some of them said it seemed like an
organized fraud. They said the answers may
have been transmitted by someone jamming the
normal broadcast.
A student revealed the same thing had happened during a test being administered at the school before, though it seemed even worse this time.
Local police immediately arrested two suspects after hearing the case, however
failing to find any special equipment they may have used to broadcast the answers.
The two were arrested after being found by a passer-by in a car in a parking lot outside the university, seemingly transmitting the answers with a mobile phone and a notebook connected to the internet.
Police said they have confirmed the identities of the two as undergraduates with the university's School of Architecture and have found the student supposed to be receiving the answers. However, the accuracy of the answers has not yet been verified.
Still, police denied that the suspects were without a doubt those behind the incident, revealing the possibility that others may have been responsible for the school-wide broadcast. They also said attempts to discover the sender by tracing the air signal were impossible and that they were considering other ways to handle the case.
The transmission of the answers was also confirmed by teachers who were monitoring the classrooms during the test.
A representative from the school's administration said they have submitted the case to higher authorities for investigation.
Some candidates have complained to the school that their marks may be affected by the incident. However, university authorities have said they have no right to help organize a re-test.。
