According to an estimate by a U.S. education company, some 8,000 Chinese students were expelled from American universities last year alone — and the main reasons were poor grades and cheating.


The survey comes amid reports that federal prosecutors in Pittsburgh have indicted 15 Chinese citizens for allegedly taking part in a college exam scheme.

Chinese students used to be considered top-notch but over the past five years their image has changed completely — wealthy kids who cheat,?? said Chen Hang, chief development officer at WholeRen, which is based in Pittsburgh, Pa.

I wanted to have a serious discussion on this due to the stereotypes us americans tend to have of foreigners..we always assume that they're a bunch of innocent people who come here & do everything the "right" way..

Yet again, SAT scores in Asia withheld because of cheating




Students sit the annual Scolastic Aptitude Test at a the Poongmun high school in Seoul on November 13, 2014. South Korea went into —hush?? mode, as nearly 650,000 students sat the annual college entrance exam that will play a large part in defining their adult lives in an ultra-competitive society.


For the fourth straight month, SAT scores in Asia are being withheld because of concerns that students cheated — and, it turns out, some of the scores withheld last year still have not been released. In the most recent case, some or all of the scores from the January administration of the exam in Asia are being withheld, as were some scores from the October, November and December exams taken in Asia.

How many scores? The College Board, which owns the SAT, and the Education Testing Service, which administers the exam, won't say.

Which countries? They won't say.

What are they doing to find the culprits and stop the cheating? They won't say.

Spokesmen for the College Board and the ETS, repeatedly asked for specifics, have said they cannot provide them for security reasons. Repeated requests for interviews with leaders of both organizations on the issue of SAT test security have not been granted.

Bihar cheating scandal: What parents in India will do for good grades

New Delhi (CNN)The quest to be educated in India has literally scaled new heights.

Images of parents and family members clambering up school buildings and clinging on window ledges to pass cheat sheets to their children have left authorities in despair.

The incident took place on Wednesday in the state of Bihar, where students were writing their year-end grade 10 examinations.

Examples of cheating incidents are not hard to find in India. But, even compared to previous events, this seems to be unprecedented in its blatancy.

Bihar Education Minister PK Shahi told reporters that children won't learn if they're constantly helped by family members. "Government can only hold fair examinations with the help of the parents, society and the children," he said. "This is a collective responsibility."
