| Egypt’s Whiz-Kid Pupil Mariam Malak Scores Zero In All Exams |
“Either the school or the examination board swapped her papers with another pupil who obviously wasn’t doing as well,” alleges Mariam’s brother, Mina.
Stories of bribery and corruption are not unheard of in Egypt’s education system. But Mariam Malak’s case received a huge amount of public attention online. Thousands of Egyptians rallied behind her using the hashtag “I believe Mariam Malak” and a Facebook page set up to support her gathered more than 30 000 likes.
“It’s not just that they stole her marks, they also stole her future and dreams,” one Egyptian woman tweeted. Another wrote: “Imagine getting zero in 7 subjects!! It’s a disaster!”
To get the minimum possible score, a pupil must more or less leave the paper blank, and whoever filled out Malak’s exam papers merely wrote out the exam questions. The Egyptian Ministry of Education investigated and subjected Malak to five handwriting tests, afterwards concluding that the flunking exam papers were indeed hers. — BBC.
