The Coalition for People Supporting Honesty called for the promotion of truth and honesty by the government after a woman was ostracized by her community for highlighting systematic cheating on national educational exams. The call came at a meeting convened at the Constitutional Court to address the case of a 13-year-old student expelled from school after his mother Siami informed education officials and the media that her son was forced to share answers with other students during national exams held last month in Surabaya, East Java. Siami addressed the meeting via teleconference, saying she had always wanted her son to grow up pious and honest. “I am very disappointed that my son was taught to cheat,” she said.
