CHEATING by Grade 10 and 12 students during the recent national examinations is impossible given recent measures taken by the Education Department to clamp down on cheating.
The Eastern Highlands education director Robert Kokao said this following allegations of students in the province cheating during the recent national examinations. “The Education Department’s measurement services unit (MSU) has tightened security on the handling of the national examination papers in the recent past and the chance of students cheating is very limited or none at all,” Mr Kokao said. “Those who claim to be selling national examination answers or question are lying and they are selling fake things to make some quick money for themselves.” According to Mr Kokao, the MSU is now sending the final draft of the national examination question to Australia where they are typed, printed, packaged and sent back to PNG one week before the national examinations. “And they are delivered every day to the schools unlike before when the principals take possession of them, keep and distribute during the examination days,” he said. Mr Kokao said the allegations of cheating in Lufa Secondary School are incidences where some students who bought the answer sheets found them to be different from the actual questions on the examinations paper, and were frustrated. “I encourage students to study to pass examinations and not to look for ways to cheat,” Mr Kokao said. He said that there was no cheating in secondary schools in EHP as reported in the media.
