Twenty-three suspects, including students and teachers, are being held in the national college entrance exam "ghostwriter" scandal in Henan province, the province's admission office said on Thursday.

The scandal will not affect other exam-assessment procedures, the office added.

"The admission scores and process will not be affected by the ongoing investigation," said Liu Zhengjun, director of the publicity department at the admissions office in Henan province. The admission scores will be publicized on Thursday, he added.
