In South Korea, a high school teacher and a student's mother were arrested for trying to steal exam papers. They broke into a school in Andong at night, but the alarm went off and they were caught.
The teacher had secretly tutored the mother's daughter, which is not allowed, and is now facing charges of trespassing and accepting bribes. A facilities manager at the school who helped them was also arrested.
Media say the daughter usually came first in her year, but the school has now expelled her and given her zero for all past exams.
This is the latest scandal in South Korea's high-pressure school system.
