Algeria to block internet usage to stop high school examination leakages

Algeria's Education Minister Nouria Benghabrit says extreme measure is being taken to temporarily suspend the entire country's internet connection during national high school examination to stop cheating and the leakage of answers. 

Mr.  Benghabrit told the media that the internet, including social networks such as Facebook, will be blocked in the first hour during the June 20-25 exam period. 

This comes after massive online leaks of the baccalaureate, the last mandatory high school examination, in the previous two years.

Mr. Benghabrit said cell phone jammers are also being installed at each examination centre.
