Six candidates in Central China's Henan Province for the national college entrance examination, or "gaokao," have been punished for organizing substitutes to sit the exam in their place, local education authorities said on Tuesday.
據本週二當地政府公佈消息稱中國中部的河南省六名高考替考生因爲組織爲他人代考已受到懲處。The Provincial Higher Education Admission Office said that the test results of six students from high schools in Qixian and Tongxu counties have been canceled, and they will be barred from participating in any national examinations for the next three years. 省級高校招生辦公室表示這六名來自杞縣和通許縣的學生的成績將作廢，同時給予禁止參加近三年各種國家考試的處理。Their parents and the invigilators are under police investigation, the office said. 該辦公室人員稱，涉事的學生家長們以及監考人員都在接受警方的調查。Authorities are continuing to investigate the case, and will keep looking for others who cheated during the gaokao. 當局將繼續調查本次替考事件，並將調查是否還有其他人蔘與替考。The scandal, exposed on June 17, sparked fresh concerns about flaws in the exam, which involved more than nine million students on June 7 and 8. 這次在六月七號和八號舉行的高考考生人數達九百多萬，而當替考醜聞於六月十七號被披露後，引發了人們對考試存在的缺陷的新關注。
