Friends paid to sit exam
PA Auckland Two sixth-formers at a private school near Auckland paid accredited friends to sit their University Entrance examinations for them, said the principal of the ?300-a-term school.
Miss Claudia Wysocki, the principal of Kristin School, told parents and pupils at. the school’s senior prizegiving ceremony that because of “honesty in some quarters” the ruse was revealed. The incident had been reported to a disciplinary committee and further action would be taken against the pupils involved. The secretary of the University Entrance Board, Mr Michael Murtagh, said that the pair would be banned from gaining University Entrance for at least two years.
