A new law regulating examination practices has been drafted by Chinese legal experts, and is now undergoing legislative discussion and soliciting public opinions, according to a report by Sunday's Chongqing Commercial Daily.

The law will become China's first legal item on examination and educational assessments if passed.

It will specify a detailed punishment for cheating, and some serious irregularities, including cover-up of a cheating behavior by an invigilator and organized cheating practice, will be regarded as a criminal offense.

Serious offenders could be treated as criminals.

China is said to have the largest number of examinees, with more than 30 million people sitting different kinds of examinations in the country every year.

However, the country does not have a specified law to regulate irregularities on the issue. The Ministry of Education has formed a special task group to be responsible for the drafting of the law in September 2004.
