[NATIONAL] Cram schools face probe for buying exam questions

 

The so-called “big three” private education businesses ― Megastudy, Sidae Injae and Daesung Hagwon ― are currently facing respective police investigations over cases of possible collusion, where they allegedly bought exam questions from school teachers who had served as test writers for the state-administered College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT).
일명 “빅3” 사설 입시학원인 메가스터디, 시대인재, 대성학원이 국가가 운영하는 대학수학능력시험(수능) 출제 경력이 있는 현직 교사에게 문항을 사들인 결탁 혐의로 각각 경찰의 조사를 받고 있다.

The annual CSAT is the national college entrance exam, which is regarded as one of the most important academic events here, as it largely decides the outcome of 12 years of intense study for many Korean students who desire to enter top universities.

On Sept. 19, the ministry requested police to investigate 21 private education institutes for allegedly having bought exam questions from 22 school teachers, who participated in creating CSAT and mock CSAT tests over the last five years.
교육부는 지난 9월 19일 경찰에 지난 5년간 모의평가와 수능 문제 출제에 참여한 현직 교사 22명에게 시험 문항을 사들인 혐의로 사교육 업체 21곳을 고소했다.
