Exam Boards Lost the Plot

CCTV cameras could be used in school exam halls in an attempt to prevent cheats using increasingly high-tech devices, examiners said on Friday. Reuters

Cheating in exams no way, mobile phones in exams no way. I know lets put a camera in the room problem solved.

The simple fact is that majority of people who are taking exam at least at A-Level aren’t dim wits and don’t cheat, the ones that do are generally the stupid minority and get caught. Why is are the Exam Boards bothering with this stupid idea, make exams more relevant and interesting for the minority groups who find it difficult to make the step up to A-Level (thats not meaning making them easier)
