Thanks for the information, some of which are new indeed

Since I am from Bangladesh, I found it interesting that "In Bangladesh, people as young as 15 can be jailed for cheating on their finals".

We do not know the source of your information, but we know that in the last 5-years time when BNP was in power, the State Minister of education was very strict on cheats who would be found cheating in Secondary School Certificate final exams. The average age for appearing in SSC is 16 years and sometimes it is 17 years. And there is no instance for anybody going to jail for cheating.

However, they (cheats) are barred from sitting in that paper or disqualified from that year's SSC exam. This has brought very good result since once upon a time there were widespread cheatings in SSC and other exams when the student wings of the major political parties were using their clout to help their party members do all the dirty tactics to pass exam.

In any case, thanks for bringing these information which may motivate others to be strict with our next generation to learn when in schools and colleges.
