Cheater's Charter

When I first became involved with private, predominantly International, colleges I discovered that the agreed examination body of choice was Edexcel Btec. The reasons? First, the colleges were able to get their students pass, mert or distinction grades, no matter how poor the student, by organised and easily achieved cheating. Copy and paste was the order of the day, actively encouraged by lecturers. Edexcel examiners checked 4 in 100 and were none too bothered if the college handed them the 4 to check. These would be especially writen for the purpose by self-acclaimed experts in Edexcel. Based on the 4, all students would be passed! Often the tudent knew little English and had no or little understanding of the course. Then, Edexcel was known as the Cheater's Charter.
