When this story first broke, I wondered if there are much bigger occurrences in Asian countries where getting into the "right" school is ultra competitive?

- sct202 8y agoMost Asian countries use high stakes testing as the 'fair' way to admit students, so most of the cheating/bribery is on the testing side.
- mcguire 8y agoEducational corruption used to be much worse in Asian and African colleges (I don't know if it still is. I have been out of the loop for a long time.); it was a near-continuous source of amusement at the department level when new grad students arrived expecting to continue to get by on money or contacts. On the other hand, most of those students didn't take up an excessive amount of faculty and TA time. Instead, they kept their heads down. Most of the class time I saw wasted was due to fully-qualified students who wanted to argue with the instructor or who thought they should be teaching the class.
