The National Education Council, after a meeting with the Ministry of Education, has lifted sanctions on 835 students who were accused of cheating on last school year's national standardized tests. The students had been penalized with a ban on registering for college for a year. They were accused of receiving the answers to the tests by cell phone. El Caribe says several employees and supervisors of the Ministry of Education were accomplices.
The 12th grade students will be given the tests during a special session between 13 October and 16 October, for admission to university studies in time for the January term. Education Minister Melanio Paredes explained that the test system would be improved. This is the first time that the Ministry puts a stop to the generalized practice of cheating on the tests.
