Observing that the cheating trend in UP during the exam days has become an industry in Uttar Pradesh, Union Home Resource Development Minister Prakash Javadekar said all the stakeholders to improve the quality of education in schools in Uttar Pradesh so that the prevailing cheating industry can be brought down to its fall.
'There are many challenges (in education) in UP. Copying in exams here has become an industry. People even climb up multi-storeyed buildings to hand over chits to candidates,' Javadekar said while referring to mass cheating during Uttar Pradesh board exams. Pointing to the children who went to government schools and got admission in premier institutes, the minister said that the government schools are improving across the country. 'Government schools can do wonders; there is a little need for motivation for teachers, a little need for strict action.We will ensure accountability for all,' added Javadekar.
