Cheats suspended from university entrance exams in Vietnam
More than 1,000 candidates have been suspended from the
second phase of Vietnam's university entrance examinations
after they were found to be cheating.
Around 477,000 young people were registered in the second
phase of the exam session to obtain a seat in one of the 74
universities and colleges in the country.
The first phase of the university selection took place on July 4,
with more than 460,000 candidates participating.
On Tuesday, Vietnamese police busted a network accused of
recruiting high-flying students to take the place of around 50
other candidates.
Each candidate paid to have someone else take the selection
exams.
The network exchanged the candidates by doctoring their
identification cards and university applications files.
Around a million students take entrance exams to universities
each year.
