It is noticed every year in this season; exams season where the exams heat to the most and the cheating phenomenon. Where newspapers writing about this matter and about those lunatic fathers who are helping their sons cheating and the streets gossips. Totally this phenomenon is a nation plague if not stopped it kills.
Officials, newspapers and people all talking about the disease but not the remedy. And the question why do students cheat? Why are they not serious with their study?
I believe the answer is the curriculum they study which is an old rotten not useful for day to day life. It is a very fat big curriculum, look into maths or physics books you will understand my points. Teachers are not having good communications skills to communicate with their students even they have week level. What is expected from teachers whom their detection is full of mistakes so what is about students?
People we need Revolution in Education system it needs to be changed. Let the students choose what they want to study there are many fields for that. If so they can do better. Don't force students to study all these old heavy things let them select. Give them more English portions, Computers as well religion that is what they need.
