Vic; Student cheats have marks slashed - no charges laid
The worst case of cheating in Victorian secondary school exams in decades has resultedin 20 students being found guilty.
All but one of them have been penalised with their results downgraded.
A group of 70 students was initially suspected of cheating in VCE papers.
In mid-November the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority launched a probeinto the allegations, which were raised by a whistleblower.
Chairman Professor KWONG LEE DOW says 50 students from 26 schools were summoned toappear before disciplinary hearings over the past week, and 20 were found guilty of cheating.
One's been reprimanded, 13 students have had their grades reduced, five have had onesubject cancelled and one student's been stripped of all their results.
Professor LEE DOW says the students will still be able to get results which will enablethem to calculate an entry score for tertiary institutions.
