Moroccan Lawmaker Banned from National Exams for 2 Years After Cheating Attempt

Thus, the Disciplinary Commission that rules in cases of exam fraud has just deprived the parliamentarian from the PJD party of the baccalaureate exams for a period of 2 years. Concretely, he will not be able to take the baccalaureate exam this year or the next.

A source within this commission, quoted by the Hespress website, explains that "the punishment does not only concern deputy Noureddine Kchibel, but also students registered for a free or regular baccalaureate and who were in possession of mobile phones during the exams".

As the same source indicates, this commission is composed of a supervisor, in addition to a representative of the regional directorate, and an education inspector.

To recall, Noureddine Kchibel, a deputy from the Taounat region, was caught last week with mobile phones as he was about to take his exam as a free candidate in a high school in Rabat. Making his mea culpa, he swears that he was unaware that the law prohibits the possession of a phone during the exam.
