15名中國留學生替考遭起訴

Fifteen Chinese nationals have been charged with developing a fraud scheme in which they paid imposters to take entrance exams, including the SAT, and gained acceptance to elite American colleges and universities, the US Department of Justice said on Thursday. Conspirators were paid up to $6,000 each time they used counterfeit Chinese passports to trick test administrators into thinking they were the person who would benefit from the test score, a federal grand jury charged.

美司法部28日稱，15名中國公民因涉嫌"替考"遭到起訴。他們僱傭冒名頂替者參加SAT等考試，並以此進入一流美國高校。聯邦大陪審團稱，頂替者用僞造的中國護照矇騙監考人員，每次酬勞高達6千美元。

A white paper said an estimated 3% of Chinese students studying in the US - or about 8,000 - were dismissed last year because of poor academic performance.

一份白皮書顯示，去年有約8000名中國留學生因成績差被美國學校開除，估計佔中國在美留學總人數的3%。
