事件回顾,
[ol]
- Eton的经济科主任以及副校长Mo Tanweer是CIE (Cambridge International Examinations)的Pre-U Economics的Examiners之一,就是说他参加了出题。
- Mo Tanweer考试以前把其中的一个考卷Paper 2的答案发给了Eton学Economics的学生
- Eton的一个学生为了追Dawne House女校的一个女孩把答案转给了她
- 这个女孩被恶心到了,就在自己的那个学校举报了这事情,然后就曝光了。
- CIS的处理结果是,Eton学生的Paper 2考试作废,但因为学生不是有意作弊所有没有惩罚学生,最后Eton的学生PreU Economics成绩是用其它几个Papers的平均分来计算。
- 后来又是爆料Winchester的老师Laurence Wolf也做了同样的事情。
- 再后来又爆料另外一个牛X私校Radley的老师improve学生的作品。

评论:从这件事情看,英国的这个A Level考试系统不靠谱啊,Mo Tanweer等类出考题的人就算是没有泄露题,他也可以有针对有偏向的引导学生学习和复习啊。出考题的人里面很大比例的老师是来自很多牛叉私校,这让人很难信服这些学校的考试成绩。非常欣赏Eton的处理结果,把学生的利益放在老师和学校的利益前面。
Public school cheating scandal began when lovestruck Eton pupil tried to chat up private schoolgirl by telling her he had leaked exam details

A cheating scandal that rocked Eton College may have first come to light when a student tried to impress of girl by bragging about the leaked exam details he was in possession of.
Two disgraced scholars left their professions at Eton and Winchester College, after answers to exams were ‘inadvertently’ emailed to students. They were Mo Tanweer, head of Economics and Politics and one of Eton’s principal examiners, as wells as Winchester College’s Laurence Wolff. Mr Wolff is alleged to have given student information on what exam questions would be included in two papers.
Now it has emerged that concerns over exam cheating were raised by a student at Downe House, an independent school for girls. It is thought that she and a male Eton student befriended one another and that he sent her the email in an attempt to impress her. ‘It turns out that one of the boys had really put his foot in it, because he’d let slip to a girl he was trying to chat up at Downe House,’ a source told The Telegraph. ‘She was outraged and reported it to the school, which led to this sorry chain of events.’
The girl’s complaint is thought to have sparked a spate of investigations by Cambridge International Examinations (CIE). It was revealed that Winchester College’s head of art, Laurence Wolff, was behind the leaks. Mr Wolff was suspended pending an investigation, and was later convinced to take early retirement. The letter sent from Head Master Simon Henderson to boys at Eton College, Windsor
Pupils at Eton had also been passed details of the exam from a pupil at Winchester, which resulted in a second set of exam marks being voided. Mo Tanweer (above) left his job at Eton after an investigation revealed he had emailed three colleagues practice questions which ‘breached exam security’。 Members of Eton’s economics department had also come forward to raise concerns that the department’s head had also leaked confidential information about upcoming Pre-U economics papers. Mr Tanweer and Mr Wolff were both examiners for CIE.
On Thursday, Ofqual launched a review into whether teachers should be permitted to set exam questions in the subjects they teach. The Commons education select committee are also expected to discuss probe the scandal when Parliament resumes. Downe House’s headteacher, Emma McKendirck, said that the school looked into concerns after being raised by a pupil.
Simon Henderson, Head Master at Eton, said students affected had been ‘inadvertent recipients’ of the information.

Mr Henderson sent a letter to candidates for the economics exam explaining that practice questions emailed as part of the revision programme were deemed to breach confidentiality, voiding marks. It is not clear how the pupils became ‘inadvertent recipients’ of the questions, but Mr Tanweer is the only person implicated. The boys’ overall marks would instead be calculated from the results of the previous two tests on the certificate’s syllabus.
