Hi Tech Cheating in Exams
Chinese students have adopted ingenious and sometimes dangerous devices (including microscopic earphones and wireless devices) for unprecedented hi-tech cheating. Chinese students upped the ante in the high-tech battle to counter cheating during university entrance exams this month, putting some in hospital as a result.
Some universities installed cameras and mobile-phone blocking technology at exam halls to foil the cheats. But students have come up with newer ways to cheat.
A student in Wuhan, capital of China's central province of Hubei, used earphones so small that they slipped into his aural canal and perforated his eardrum, the China Daily newspaper said.
Another student's earphones required an operation for their removal, the paper said, while an electronic device connected to headphones and strapped to a third student's body exploded, leaving a bleeding hole in his abdomen.
