Well, I suppose we had to read this, from the online version of the TES

 

Exam cheats ignored

Warwick Mansell and Martin Edwards 10/10/2003

Teachers have signed off exam coursework as original even when it was obvious that pupils had colluded with each other, documents seen by The TES reveal.

Examiners' reports criticise lax checks in at least one high-profile course. In other cases, they comment on the striking similarities between some pupils' work.

In the latest coursework controversy, examiners also complain that teachers have been over-generous with their marking.

 

I wonder what a “high profile course” is, however.

 

Who needs to worry about Elizabeth Hall?
