Cheating in online exams

COVID-19 has made in-person exam proctoring impossible and so normal safeguards have disappeared. The student of university cheats during online exam and gets high grades without learning something because our government made this possible for the students. For example moving slightly out of the cameras field of view allows the student to copy the question and insert it into the google search bar of that laptop or a hidden smartphone. The answer pops up even before he/she fully finished typing. There is no such question which google cannot answer. The students sitting in the same room or had created whatsapp groups with members messaging each other during the exam. Almost all are perfectly comfortable with cheating.
I humbly request to the government to look at the matter urgently and Pakistan’s education system must change its direction if they really want a productive education system.
