Exam cheating

Description

For as long as there have been exams, competitions, indeed any sort of testing, there has been cheating within our schools. It may be on a small scale, considering the enormous number of public exams and tests taken in schools every year, but, according to the QCA, over the past few years there has been a large increase in candidate malpractice . And it is not only the pupils who have been caught cheating; some teachers have been found out as well. This programme explores the reasons for the growth in cheating; the pressure felt by teachers and pupils to cheat; and what can be and is being done to address the problem.
