Images of Indian students blatantly cheating on school-leaving examinations under the noses of supervisors have gone viral, inviting ridicule on Twitter and exposing flaws in the much-maligned education system of an impoverished eastern state.

印度学生毕业考试中在监考眼皮底下作弊的图片被疯传，在Twitter上遭到嘲笑，揭露出印度教育系统中的弊端。

On Thursday, the Hindustan Times published a photo of dozens of men clambering up the wall of a four-floor test center in Bihar state, perched on window ledges as they folded answer sheets into paper planes flown into classrooms.

《印度斯坦时报》（Hindustan Times）周四发布了一张图片，图中有几十名男子爬上比哈尔邦一栋四层的考试中心，攀在窗口将答案叠成纸飞机投入教室中。

"Should we shoot them?" asked Prashant Kumar Shahi, Bihar's education minister, addressing a news conference after television news channels aired the incriminating photo and raked up the scandal.

“我们应该向他们开枪吗？”比哈尔邦教育局长Prashant Kumar Shahi在新闻发布会上问道。

"On average, four or five persons are helping each student use unfair means," Shahi said, adding it was impossible to curb cheating if parents encouraged their children.

“平均来说，每个学生从四五个人那里得到作弊帮助，”Shahi说道，并表示如果家长鼓励他们的孩子作弊，作弊现象无法禁止。

Exams held by the Bihar School Examination Board (BSEB) are viewed as make-or-break tests that could transform the lives of millions growing up in poverty.

比哈尔学校考试委员会（Bihar School Examination Board）举行的考试被视为“成王败寇”的考试，可能改变数以百万贫寒子弟的命运。

Copying is rampant during state-run standardized tests and invigilators look the other way when pupils consult peers via WhatsApp messages on phones or jot down answers from notes smuggled into classrooms.

印度国家标准考试中作弊现象严重，考生们通过WhatsApp问答案或是打小抄时，监考视而不见。

More than 1.4 million students are taking the tests this week, crammed into 1,217 examination centers in Bihar.

本周共有超过140万学生参加考试，比哈尔邦共有1,217个考试中心。

This year, more than 1,000 students were caught cheating in three days and have been expelled. The tests end on March 24.
