According to a recent poll, more than 20 per cent of 3,081 Primary Four to Form Seven students said they had cheated in exams or copied work from classmates.
Almost 65 per cent of students said they would not report cheating by other pupils.
A teacher suggested why this happens. Students think too much about being the best, so some of them use unfair ways to pass tests.
Also, the teacher thought students did not really understand how to be fair. This means they would not report cheats.
I was unhappy to read the results of the poll. I think people who cheat are wrong.
Also, anyone who does not report cheating is wrong. This is not fair.
Teachers can use Olympic athletes as good examples of people who are successful and do not cheat.
