Poor standards of high GPA scorers

I had the opportunity to listen to the remark of the education minister Nurul Islam Nahid on the occasion of publishing the result of PSC public examination. When asked by journalists about the quality of education, he said the quality of education has not deteriorated.
One of my relatives, who has been working as an English teacher at a renowned school in Dhaka for a long time, said that many students who failed in four or five subjects in the pre-test exams, taken by the school, have got GPA-5 in the PSC examination.
One of my friends is working as a supervisor in an NGO and has to work with a good number of primary schools. Before the PSC examination, she said many students from various schools performed badly in Mathematics but all of them would pass in the PSC examination as they would be allowed to see each others' exam scripts in the examination hall. Students are learning to cheat at the very beginning of their life! Moreover, teachers are asked to over-mark.
