Matiullah | 13 years ago | Reply Cheating has become very common in our society all over the Pakistan. I may mention here that in examinations in District Tank and DI Khan have become cheating centers. the students donate thousands of rupees for exam staff. the staff gather 4-5 lac of rupees from each hall. it should be noted that some of the teachers are regularly appointed for conducting exams.

Aftab Kenneth Wilson | 13 years ago | Reply Poor invigilators are helpless in front of armed booty mafia. Moreover all these matters come direct under the Governor. As far as deployment of police is concerned, we all know that they are the most corrupt species in our country. Political and religious parties known for their high handedness are also involved in this corrupt practices. In fact we have become "Cheaters" at all levels. There is a need for nationwide Character Building.

alpha gamma | 13 years ago | Reply I have always wondered in a country like Pakistan where we need more and more qualified students, whats wrong with cheating? Let everyone cheat so that they can get into uni's easily. We despreately need educated youth. If we make things easier for them, they can achieve their degrees quicker and more conveniently and contribute to the nation. We should making 'metric failures.' The key to succes in education is ---> let everyone cheat
