Centralised Exams Fuel Leaks, Call for Decentralisation

In India, exams for big schools are now run by a national agency called NTA.

This change made it easier for people to cheat, so many exam papers get leaked.

Before, each state ran its own exams and cheating was less common.

Because of the national exams, many kids now go to expensive coaching classes to try to pass.

The government has tried to fix the problem with new laws and a special team, but these fixes haven’t worked well.

The author says the best fix is to let each state run its own exams again, so cheating is harder and kids don’t need costly coaching.
