To prevent students from cheating during exams, Chinese school comes up with idea of ‘newspaper hats’

A school in China seems to have found an unusual way to prevent its students from cheating during exams.

Reportedly the school, which is situated in the Anhui province, ensured that their students wore hats — that were made by cutting out skull-sized holes in newspaper sheets — over their heads while writing their papers. The unique headgear school not only kept the students’ eyes from wandering but also ensured that others were not able to peek into their answer sheets.

Meanwhile, photos of the students wearing the ‘newspaper hats’ went viral on social media, inviting both ridicule and laughter from internet users.
