Manama: A student in Kuwait who was cheating on an exam ended up in the emergency room after a Bluetooth device got stuck deep into his ear.
According to a report in the local daily Al Seyassah, the student was unable to remove the device after he pushed it too far into his ear in order to avoid detection by exam supervisors.
Remarkably, the student asked for the device back insisting he needed it for an exam on the next day.
Kuwait, meanwhile, has threatened to deport any foreign teachers caught assisting students in cheating.
“There will be a zero-tolerance towards any teacher who helps cheaters in any way,” Education Minister, Bader Al Eisa said.
The warning to deport expatriates who do not comply with the law in Kuwait came two days after the head of the municipal council in the capital Kuwait City said that expatriates apprehended barbecuing in non-allocated places would be sent home.
“There is a plan to set up a new link with the interior ministry to deport foreigners who break municipal laws, including barbecuing on the beaches and public parks,” Ahmad Al Saubaih said. “The municipality had designated specific spots on the beach and in public gardens where people can barbecue. It has also imposed a ban on having barbecues in certain areas. However, several people have failed to comply with the laws and regulations, even though they are aware that those who cause any form of damage to public utilities or facilities face punishment,” he said.
