Exam Chaos

In one of the biggest Thannaweya Amma fiascos in the governorate of Minya to date, students were using hidden mobile phones to obtain answers from their parents who had paid to get the exam questions and answers 10 minutes after the exam started.

Other parents were more direct and simply used microphones from outside the windows of the exam rooms to make sure their children got the answers.

Ministry officials reassured disbelieving parents that everything was going according to plan, and that there were electric fans and air conditioners in place for their children's comfort! (METimes/Al Ahli)
