A private college in India is apologizing after its students were seen wearing boxes on their heads during an exam earlier this week—a plan supposedly devised to stop cheating.
In heavily-circulated images on social media, students of the Bhagat Pre-University College in Haveri were sitting at their desks during a chemistry midterm with what appeared to be cardboard cartons on their heads.noted, the images surfaced after college staff member Sateesh Herur posted them on his Facebook account the day of the test. Herur reportedly captioned the pictures:"It's our college midterm exam today. That is Bhagat PU College, Haveri.
The country's department of education soon caught wind of the pictures and immediately rebuked the school's anti-cheating measures,"We have clearly told the management to give a written explanation and if this kind of incident is repeated in the future, the department will cancel the license of the school," said S.C. Peerjade, deputy director of the local pre-education board."We implemented this idea to curb malpractice and not to harass students.
