A teenager has been disqualified from sitting his GCSEs after taking a selfie during an exam.
The teenager was reportedly sitting one of their GCSEs exams when they took the incriminating snap.
The name of the pupil and the location of the school are unknown, though the photo has been re-tweeted hundreds of times.
The photo was shared with the caption: ‘Just failed all my gcses and disqualified from taking public exams for the next 5 years but it's worth the RTs (sic).’
We raise teenagers to see each other as competitors
Not for GCSE grades or for accomplishments
Which I think can be a good thing
But for the attention of social media and retweets
I can't believe they disqualified him just for that, it's not like he was cheating
It's against the rules to have mobile phones in an examination, he could have been using the phone to get answers, It's always been the rule, everyone knows the rule and abides by it
