China Exam Cheating

Over the years, students have used wireless cheating devices disguised as erasers, belts and watches.

Chinese education authorities have gone high-tech to catch cheaters as millions of high-school students take their "gaokao", the annual university entrance exam seen as key to landing a lucrative white-collar job.

More than 9.4 million Chinese students just sat for annual college entrance exams known as gaokao. The stakes are incredibly high, as admissions are largely based on exam scores. A high scorer streamlines his or her path toward a better education and better jobs - a low scorer may be destined for the opposite, made worse by shame.

From sending SWAT teams into exam centres to arresting rule-breakers, China's public security authorities have been cracking down hard on college entrance examination cheaters who could face jail if caught.

The firm that oversees registrations for the SAT has canceled college entrance exams on Saturday in China and Macau, because some students may have already seen copies of the tests.

Students trying to copy in examinations in China will face a jail term of up to seven years as the government has brought a new law making cheating a crime.

Officials in Luoyang, in Henan province purchased a drone designed to search for radio signals that could indicate cheating students.

Chinese students sat the annual make-or-break university entrance exams today, with officials deploying drones or high-tech radio surveillance trucks at schools across the country to try and curb increasingly sophisticated cheating methods.

Police in China have arrested two students and seized radio signal equipment being used by them to cheat in the national entrance exam in which over nine million students are appearing.

More than nine million students packed exam halls across China for the opening day of the country's university entrance exam on Friday - with attempts to stop cheating even leading to bans on metal bra clasps.
