The general Baccalaureate exams in Guédiawaye, Senegal, experienced a disruption when a candidate was caught cheating during the philosophy exam. The student at CEM Ndiarka Diagne was discovered with a mobile phone taped to her thigh and was immediately disqualified. She will now face a disciplinary council. Authorities preemptively replaced philosophy exam papers at certain centers following reports of potential leaks. This year, the Guédiawaye academy registered 25,834 candidates, with females representing 62.61% of the total. Literary fields continue to be the most popular choice amongst students taking the exam. Despite the incident, the exams are reported to have otherwise proceeded calmly.
