Original article from the Sydney Morning Herald: http://www.smh.com.au/national/educ...on-hsc-cheating-register-20140930-10o1al.html

Any NSW school that catches an HSC student plagiarising, asking or even paying someone to do their major work, or who deliberately hands an assessment task in late, must now record the offence on a new register, set up seven years after the Independent Commission Against Corruption investigated cheating in take-home exams.
For the first time this year, cheating in school-based assessment tasks will be published along with exam breaches. Students and schools will not be identified but the course, the type of offence, the nature of the assessment and the penalty will be publicly released.

The latest figures from the Board of Studies show 19 students were caught breaching exam rules last year, four more than in 2012

^^A quite low proportion of the ~70 000 students


''I strongly disagree with cheating in any way.''

Low proportion, so don't think the amount of students cheating is what they're worried about, but rather the fact that the amount is increasing (albeit very slight, but increasing none-the-less).

I was meant to say 'low proportion caught of perhaps hundreds of cheaters'.

Thanks for clearing it up and yes inevitably, it is increasing.
