Plagiarism nowadays is very common among students. In many schools, colleges and universities, this activity is quite an acceptable activity.
Many teachers openly talk about plagiarism and even appreciate students for it because their basic motive is not to teach students how to do research, collect information and produce their own report but to collect assignments or reports as a mere formality to fulfil the policy requirements of the institution. Teachers are not concerned from where it has been copied.
The education minister and all the educational institutions should take this thing into notice as it is a serious crime. One just can’t copy any other’s work and claim it as theirs.
Teachers should act responsibly and should check these things thoroughly rather than just making easy money.
