More than 1,600 students have been expelled for cheating in school examinations in the northern Indian state of Bihar, officials say.

More than 100 parents have also been held for helping their children cheat in senior school examinations.

Over 1.3 million students from 4,000 schools appeared for the exams.

Cheating in exams is fairly common in Bihar, but the number of students and teachers caught this time is unprecedented.

(...)

Officials say students smuggled in textbooks and notes into the examination centres despite tight security for "fair and peaceful examinations".

Some of their parents and relatives also threw into classrooms answers written on paper planes or "simply passed them on to other people walking in and out of the classrooms".

At some schools, parents helping their children cheat also clashed with the police, officials say. Full story...
