Cheating with Mobile Phones
General statement:
As police expand their investigation
into cheating in the state run college entrance exam by using mobile phones,
people deplore the low morality among the growing generation and many also condemn
the absurdity of the current education system that drove student to do such a
thing. Strong blame should also be laid on local authorities who failed to
prevent such a misdeed, long anticipated in the overdeveloping information
technology environment of this country.
Explanation:
About 100 students in Gwangju have
been "confirmed" as having been involved in the cheating, some
transmitting the answer, some receiving them, others coordinating the illicit
communications outside testing places.
It is unfortunate that dishonest
means were used by students who wanted to get a higher score in the state test
and enter a college that is beyond their academic ability.
But what dismay us are that such
scandals as this and other scandals will continue to take place around us until
and unless the nation is freed from its obsession with college diplomas.
