Algeria blocks social media to beat
exam cheats
19 June 2016 Africa
Algeria has temporarily blocked access to
social media across the country in an attempt
to fight cheating in secondary school exams.
Almost half of students are being forced to
retake the baccalaureat exam, starting on
Sunday, after the initial session was marred
by online leaking.
Many students were able to access questions
on Facebook and other social media ahead of
the exam in early June.
Algeria has struggled with baccalaureate leaks
in recent years.
The decision to block social media was taken
to protect students de la publication of "bogus
questions on those networks", officials told
Algeria's APS news agency.
