SOME universities in Beijing, including Beida and Renmin, asked students taking part in the College English Test Band 4 and 6 exams in late December to sign a \"pledge of credibility\", stating that they would not cheat in the exams.
Those who refused to sign the statement were barred automatically from the exams, the Beijing News reported.
The news has led to debate in the press with people criticizing the move. They say that it is merely a gesture and won't stop students from cheating.
Other people say that forcing students to sign the document infringes on their rights and asking students to commit to honesty is unreasonable. These critics argue banning students who refuse to sign the statement from taking the test is illegal. Test organizers have no legal right to deny students the exam. Action can only be taken against them if they are actually caught cheating. Others defend the policy, saying cheating had become too big a problem and that something needs to be done.
What is your opinion? Do you think credibility could be forced? |
