The Ministry of Education and Training announced on 26/6 that over 1.14 million students took the literature exam, achieving 99.37% of the total registered. Among them, 8 students were caught using mobile phones and 2 were using prohibited materials, leading to their disqualification.
According to regulations, if these students are in 12th grade, they will not be eligible for high school graduation.
Last year, 26 students were disqualified throughout the entire exam period for bringing prohibited materials and phones into exam rooms. The literature exam saw the highest number of violations, with 12 students disqualified.
Materials and phones are prohibited in any examination room. During the exam preparation procedures yesterday, exam proctors reminded students of this rule. All exam boards provided designated areas for storing personal belongings and reminded students before each exam session.
