Students forced to wear cardboard boxes


BBC online

An Indian school official has apologised after a bizarre set of images went viral showing students wearing cardboard boxes on their heads.


The images were taken during a chemistry exam at Bhagat Pre-University College in Haveri, Karnataka state.


They showed students wearing boxes, cut open on one side, to prevent them from being able to copy other people's work.


A junior college administrator has spoken publicly and apologised to district officials for the incident.


MB Satish told BBC Hindi he was sorry for trying to use the unusual anti-cheating technique.

He said the school has only implemented the measure on an "experimental basis" after hearing of its use elsewhere.
