Entrance exam answers leaked

Guangzhou - Officials have admitted answers to a standardized test taken by tens of thousands of sixth-grade students in Guangdong province's Leizhou were leaked, with one official allegedly insulting a reporter investigating the case.

The local public security bureau and discipline inspection department are looking into the answers having been disclosed ahead of the test on June 25. Students were informed of the leak and told their scores were immediately nullified.

Some parents claim the test is the middle school's entrance examination, though the city government had announced the discontinuation of test-based enrollment. However, schools required students to fill out middle school applications before taking the latest exam.
