A minister from Punjab exposes exam fraud in the SSC Part I exams in Lahore.

During the annual Secondary School Certificate (SSC) Part-I exams in Lahore, a number of students were found to have cheated.

The pupils were discovered during the minister’s unexpected visit to an exam centre in the Sanda neighbourhood of Lahore, according to the spokesperson for Punjab Minister for School Education Rana Sikandar Hayat.

In addition, a number of people were arrested for trying to take tests on behalf of other people. The minister asserted that officials from the schools and the testing centre were involved in exam cheating.

The minister issued a warning, saying that no one should be permitted to gamble with kids’ futures. Five officials who were reportedly involved in encouraging cheating were taken into custody, the spokeswoman said.

The provincial administration in Lahore issued a warning to private schools earlier this week about expecting parents to pay extra money on top of their monthly tuition.

Additionally, schools were cautioned against pressuring parents to buy books and uniforms just from particular stores.
