Exam leak?

While marking the Physics trial paper for my students, I notice a few students' answers are almost similar to the answer in the marking scheme provided. I doubt their ability.

Nowadays, students,parents or educationists or the society at large, all of them want high performance in public exams. This phenomenon encourages the cheating in exams. Some will leak questions. Some will provide answers. Some will ask their students to memorise answers for the exams...............

My experience in education field, leaking questions will not help the students to grasp the aim of the education in school. The students will tend not to study hard. They will wait for the leaked questions and answers, They will not have the culture or habit to ask in the teaching and learning proces in their classroom.

At the end of their education, the students will not have the adequate knowledge and skills to solve problems in their career and life. They will encounter setbacks and disappointment. They will resort to the cheating methods to fulfill their needs and ambitions.

I think we are sick already.
