The Tripoli Teachers Union has expressed rejection over the statements of the Director of the National Center for Examinations, Ahmed Masoud.
In a statement issued on Thursday, the union confirmed that they condemns the phenomenon of cheating in all its forms, and demands that the harshest penalties be taken against those proven to practice it, but it refuses to generalize it to all teachers.
The statement explained that the success rate in the exams, which does not exceed 60%, is evidence that a large number of committees and teachers are performing their duties to the fullest extent, suggesting to provide solutions for combating cheating such as installing cameras in exam halls.
The Tripoli Teachers Union indicated that exam conditions pose dangers to teachers, as they are exposed to attacks, verbal abuse, and destruction of their property.
The Director of the National Center for Examinations, Ahmed Masoud, submitted his resignation from his position on Wednesday, due to the spread of cheating in exams.
