June 30th, 2012 - 7:44 pm ICT by IANSBeijing, June 30 (IANS) Fourteen people have been punished in China for a 10-minute delay in distributing answer-sheets to seven students appearing in the national college entrance exams.
According to authorities, the incident occurred June 7 in north China’s Shanxi province.
The individuals were found responsible for a delay in sending out papers to the students taking the exam called “gaokao” in Chinese, at a school in Yaodu district, Xinhua quoted the government authorities as saying.
An investigation found the examination paper handler misdirected answer sheets between rooms, leading to the delay in one of the examination rooms where the exam was expected to begin by 9 a.m.
