Bihar Education Scandal

Bihar school examination topper Ruby Rai wrote names of movies in one answer sheet, the name of poet Tulsidas more than a hundred times in another and poetry in some others, which were then replaced by papers written by 'experts', the police have said.

The arrest of Delhi's former law minster Jitender Singh Tomar this week has highlighted how stretched the education system is in Bihar, from where the police allege he procured a forged law degree.

Images of parents scaling the walls of an exam centre to help students cheat drew international attention to the poor state of education in Bihar. A random check at a centre where exam papers are being checked, reveals that even some evaluators would need help to pass.
