Examiners in spotlight over bribes

GUANGZHOU: Xiao Yang, a student about to sit for his national college entrance exam, is worried, and with good reason.

"From time to time, we hear of stories about cheating and bribery, especially exams related to physical education, arts and music," the student of Guangzhou No 41 Middle School, said.

Yesterday, provincial authorities confirmed that three examiners have been accused of bribery and malpractice in connection with a local physical education entrance exam which was held between March 2 and 13.
