I read an article on Yahoo News about India's Supreme Court wanting authorities to use an 'iron hand' when dealing with students who cheat.
According to EducationNews.org, there are three main reasons why students cheat:
(1) pressure to get good grades;
(2) being unprepared; or
(3) the challenge of trying to get away with it.
I think number 1 above is probably a common problem.
If our country is to progress we must maintain high educational standards, and this is only possible if malpractices in examinations in educational institutions are curbed with an iron hand," the apex court observed. A bench of Justices Altamas Kabir and Markandeya Katju also ruled that even if an unauthorised chit is merely found in the possession it is deemed to be a malpractice, irrespective of the fact whether the student had copied from the said chit.
