Parents found posting SATs test answers online
The Department for Education (DfE) has intervened after parents began tweeting answers from their children’s SATs exam.
According to Schools Week, officials have been monitoring social media in order to clamp down on cheating, and as a result, the DfE’s Twitter account has warned people against publishing test answers.
This is because some key stage 2 students are sill due to sit the exam.
The DfE said on Twitter: "Some children will be taking the KS2 tests next week using timetable variations. Please help us to keep the test content secure. Thank you."
