CAIRO, July 1, 2018 (MENA) - Students who leaked Thanaweya Amma philosophy and logic exam were identified, said Reda Hegazi, chairman of the General Education Sector at the Education Ministry, on Sunday. The students, residing in Dakahlia and Cairo governorates, posted some parts of the exam on social media websites 30 minutes after the start of the exam, Hegazi added. The students will be referred to the prosecution over the leak, which is punishable by a fine and imprisonment. In the past few years, Thanaweya Amma exams have been repeatedly leaked and shared on Facebook and WhatsApp. Last year, Egypt's parliament approved amendments toughening the penalties for cheating and other exam violations, including publishing exam questions and papers and having mobile phones or other wireless devices in examination rooms. Penalties for facilitating exam leaks include hefty fines of EGP 100,000-200,000 and jail terms between two and seven years. More than 650,000 students are taking this year's tests.
