Cheating incidents mar exams

Students in Jiangxi province taking the ongoing national college entrance exam should expect a stricter check on their identities on Monday after authorities captured two people taking Sunday's tests for other students.

"The provincial Education Department and Education Examination Authority have informed their local branches as well as exam venues to strictly conduct identity checks to ensure the safety and order of the exam," Cao Zhenglong, deputy Party chief of the Jiangxi Education Examination Authority, said at a news briefing on Sunday afternoon.

On Sunday morning, police in Nanchang, the provincial capital, detained a man in the middle of the Chinese language test after media reported he was attending the exam under another student's name.
