An Inclusive Litany

6/7/99

In Bangladesh, after 10,000 students were expelled from a nationwide test that was administered to 500,000 students, thousands went on a rampage, stoning teachers, setting examination rooms on fire, and assaulting proctors. Students were taking the Higher Secondary Certificate examination, which would allow them to become teachers themselves, and protesters formally called on government examiners to recognize their cheating on the test as a fundamental student right.
