It was earlier discovered that students were using a Facebook group to share notes and answers to tests with one another in the current setup of blended learning amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
Earlier, numerous media outlets reported about a Facebook group where students can share notes and answers for their modules or respective exams.
We are now seeking the assistance of authorities in tracing kasi mayroon naman talagang, may questions kasi tayo diyan at may key answers tayo diyan. Kung na-leak ba ‘yan o napunta sa estudyante o nagkopyahan, kailangan imbestigahan natin ‘yan,
said Education Secretary Leonor Briones during a Palace briefing.
We will take steps and we are already in touch with appropriate authorities because we will not tolerate it, at least in education,
she added.
The online community had 600,000 members and was publicly visible on the social networking app. With the reports, it has been already archived where new members cannot be added, and current members cannot make new posts or comment on old ones.
Briones admitted that cheating has been a lingering issue even before the pandemic and promised that the department would take action against it.
