Smartwatch and Regular Watches banned In Exams

11th September 2019/in Gadgets / Tech /by billywright

The UK are afraid of those pesky cheaters at school exams and are attempting to prevent cheating, by banning ALL watches. As it’s so hard to tell which is a smartwatch and what isn’t these days. How far tech has come.

An independent commission hired to investigate exam malpractice discovered that it’s just to difficult to tell the difference. Consequently resulting in a sweeping ban for all watches. Regular and the smartwatch. As it’s impractical to do a check on every students watches, just ban them all.

The Independent Commission on Examination Malpractice reports a “very low level of malpractice.” However it states that”a total ban on all types of watches, as well as other internet devices, removes any possibility of candidates having non-sanctioned internet access during exams.”

Schools in the US have already banned the smartwatch and regular watches from exam rooms. But the UK version is a recommendation for the UK’s Office of Qualifications and Exam Regulation. They said that it will work with the commission to implement it’s recommendations and will consider banning all watches from next summer.

The commission state that it’s due to the “sophistication of internet-enabled devices.” The commission are even going as far as monitoring the dark web for sale of exam papers and checking toilets to make sure students haven’t stashed their phones or notes in there.
