Factory of Cheaters

Ever wonder why corruption has widely spread in our beloved country in all its life aspects? Ever wonder why unemployment is increasing by an enormous rate among our youth? Ever wonder why our development rate is much below our needs? Ever wonder why you have to visit many doctors when you're sick, as each of them has a different diagnosis for your illness? Ever wonder why buildings have many technical problems, and why some of them fall onto their inhabitants? Ever wonder why new roads are full of accidents, where the drivers face their doom for the absence of any safety measures? Ever wonder why you have to tip people all the time just to get your basic rights? Ever wonder why in every celebration hundreds suffer from food poisoning?

Well, miraculously, I've got an answer. It's cause we are surrounded by cheaters. But these cheaters are not born with the cheating syndrome, rather they developed this skill since a very young age while receiving their education. Yes, they learn it at schools.

Do you need a proof? Check out the on-going investigation about mass cheating in Gamal Abdul Nasser Experimental School. If you pay attention to the details involved in this case, you'll find the proof that cheating has become a common practice in our life, that even the Ministry of Education is protecting it and those who promote it.

I first learned about the incident from the TV programme Al3ashera Masa2an. Of course, being a former teacher I wasn't shocked or anything. For I know that the so called Ministry of Education is perhaps the most corrupted institution in our country. But what really drove me crazy was the stupidity of the people involved in this scandal (It became a scandal cause it was exposed by the media). The representative of the board of trustees is called Sheikh Gamal Kotb. 7'allo balko mn "sheikh" di. The honorable member of the board didn't even say that cheating is wrong. He didn't even imply that in case this incident is proven to have taken place it would be such a shame. No, no, he said nothing of this. He was so concerned about the "psychological health" of the students, who, according to his story, have been horrified by the investigation process. Ya 3eeny. Ya3ni They weren't horrified when they were ordered to lie while answering the questions of the investigator, but they were terrified when the investigator knew they were lying. Shofto el3abath?

Elsheikh kaman had a point of view. This was a Computer exam, its results are not added to the total score. What's the fuss about ba2a? The students didn't receive their text books till the time of the exam. What's wrong with giving them the answers just to pass the test? See how respectable this sheikh is?

Now, we come to the Ministry of Education and its spokesperson, the Deputy Minister and nothing less. His name is Reda Abou Sree3. Mr Abou Sree3 agreed tab3an with Sheikh Kotb and he accused the prosecutor of "unjustified quick action"! He also sees that a computer exam is not important cause it is a practical subject. (The parent who reported this incident said that the computer teacher only gave two classes in the whole semester.) Again Abou Sree3 said nothing about cheating, and when asked what he would have done if he were in the position of the schoolmaster, he said, "I wouldn't have allowed things to go this far." Check the reaction of the ministry and the school

Wow begad! Akeed you wonder why this man is defending the school. I tell you there are many reasons:

1. The fees for the coursebooks were paid to the ministry, but the school never received them.

2. A thorough investigation will reveal that the minsitry had known about this. Cause for sure the school had complained.

3. The ministry quickly sent its Chief of Security to the school when they had learned that the prosecutor was investigating students. Apparently he has intervened into the course of investigation.

4. The ministry knows about such common incidents of cheating and one investigation would lead to another.

Therefore, I suggest that the Ministry of Education will change its name to suit its current goal, to become Factory of Cheaters.
