Report from Reuters says that the Algerian Government has blocked access to Facebook, Twitter and 3G services in the country but the question is what caused this action by the Government?
Well, it's the same old story of eliminating exam malpractices. They said that the ongoing baccalaureate exam papers leaked on several social media platforms. Baccalaureate is a school-leaving examination that qualifies candidates who were successful for entrance to university, just like WAEC in West Africa.
In fact, Algeria is not the first country to block Internet connection because of Exam Malpractice. You can recall some time ago when Iraqi government blocked internet access in the country to prevent students from cheating in exam.
The Algerian Government says that they took this decision to disable social media to protect students de la publication of “bogus questions on those networks”
Meanwhile, it is reported that more than 555,000 students in the North African nation of Algeria will be retaking their exams because of this malpractice issues
