The number of youngsters caught cheating in GCSE and A-level exams rose by 27 per cent last summer.
More than 1,000 pupils - one in four of those caught - were disqualified for using mobile phones in the exam hall, according to the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority, the Government’s exams watchdog, in a report published today.
Some were caught texting friends outside the examination hall - seeking answers to questions.
