Summary A woman in France has been caught attempting to take her daughter's English exam.

 

(Web Desk) - The parent, named Caroline, dressed in "elaborate make-up" and low-waisted jeans to sit for the Bacchalauréat, France's equivalent of A-Levels or the SAT.

 

According to The Daily Telegraph, the woman was caught by a supervisor who remembered seeing her daughter taking a philosophy exam a few days earlier.

 

There is no word on what punishment the 52-year-old will face for the cheating attempt, although she could be hit with as much as a 9,000 euro (£7,700) fine and three-year prison term for fraud.

 

Her 19-year-old daughter Laetitia could also banned from taking all official exams for five years.

 

The news comes in the wake of a recent clampdown by education authorities against cheating on school examinations.

 

Many electronic smart phone detectors, for example, have been installed in testing facilities.
