Issuing strict directives for vigil checks on shops of photo-state machines near the examination halls, Kamran Bangash said every possible means of cheating in the exam must be discouraged and checked to arrest any possible source of cheating in the exams.

Cheating and using other illegal means to get an unjust score in the exam were like slow poisoning for our young generation. He said students and staff found indulged in cheating in exams would strictly be dealt with and no leniency in this regard would be shown.

The Special Assistant made it clear that the examination staff involved in providing cheating material and other illegal means to the students would not be spared at any cost and made an example for others to take a lesson.

Kamran Bangash also stressed upon the parents and relatives of students not to encourage the trend of cheating among their children as it would ruin their future. All such illegal means used in exams, he said, would be closely checked following strict directives of the Chief Minister Mahmood Khan.

He said if a student was unable to understand a question, he or she could ask the teacher for guidance; however no cheating tactics would be allowed during the exam. He said the area police have also been directed to arrest anyone who tries to provide any means of cheating to the students inside the examination hall.
