Does laziness have a cure?
Every now and then, students sit for the national examinations, cases of cheating hardly pass on without getting noticed.
This vice has been there since time immemorial, the buck stops with who, is it the government, parents, teachers or the students?
Most of the 2007 candidates’ education career got ruined. Many of them cheated in the examinations as they had leakages, many were innocent, but their mean grade got affected. Example is a boy who was from a poor family, who had scored A but his grade was later on lowered to A-minus, affecting his dream career of studying medicine, yet his financial status cannot allow him to study medicine on the parallel degree program me
Many are the times that government officials linked to this vice refuse to step aside for investigations to be carried out and the culprit punished, since they are the ones who are always the first ones to get access to the examination papers before they get distributed to schools.
Still, parents are also to blame. Some of them help in purchasing the exam papers for their children, while some do not warn their daughters and sons on the dangers of exam cheating
On the other hand we ought to ask ourselves, is it laziness or greed that leads to this vice?
