“Cheating students can lose their points”
“the Government wants to investigate if students who cheated on a college education should be able to get rid of with the points they managed to cope. In the day, there is no rules regarding this and the students may retain the grades.”
“– It must be clear that for the person who is caught with cheats will the impact be really hard, ” says Matilda Ernkrans (S), the minister for higher education and research, to the TT.”
“An investigator looks at the moment about how cheating on the scholastic aptitude test should be able to be mitigated. The background is the recent years ‘ revelations about the cheaters who have paid for a good result, and thus entered on the desirable training courses to a doctor, lawyer or engineer – in other applicant’s expense.”
“the Government wants to know if it is possible to introduce a requirement on the person at the scholastic aptitude test, for example, in the form of metal detectors. And now the investigation is, therefore, a supplementary directive to also look at the question of how the points of a cheating student already managed should be managed.”
“today, a student who is cheated of his place, but what about the points that are already clear, there is no clear legal framework.”
” It is not clear what is what. You should keep score or not, we should investigate now, ” says Matilda Ernkrans.”
“the Universities have agreed that students will maintain the score, but the minister suggests that a harder line would be desirable.”
” we Have been cheated to a place where it must be very clearly what the consequences are. No one should even be able to think the thought that you should cheat yourself to someone else’s place, ” she says.”
TT: you Can see that there may be objections, this is the score that the student still passed?”
“– That is precisely why we now give the investigator an opportunity to watch it. It is important that we know the legal certainty and clarity how we should deal with it.”
“As a result of organised fraud, have at least 33 students in the last three years have been excluded from the education they on false grounds took. In addition, to date some 70 provfuskare expelled from the sample in the two years.”
“the Inquiry would present its final report at the end of may but will now have extended time to July 1, when a mid-term report in the first part about personal searches shall be reported, and on 29 november, then also the question of whether the grades should be recognized.”
“the Minister sees no risk that important measures are delayed.”
” It’s not my image. We have had it pointed out to us that the issue of the point is unclear and it is important that we act quickly and provide a sitting investigation a little more time to also look at this.”
“In August, the government decided that a special investigator should look at whether certain actions should be taken in order to prevent cheating on the sat.”
“It is, among other things, on whether it should be a requirement on the person at the scholastic aptitude test.”
“the Evaluator should also examine at what percentage of the provlokalerna that the person in this case should be conducted, who should conduct searches and about the places where searches will be carried out should be protected by confidentiality to not be known in advance.”
“the Investigator may also propose other measures designed to prevent cheating on the sat.”
“in Addition, the investigating officer shall also look at the question of whether the students who cheated should get to keep the points they managed to cope.”
