The body that runs the International Baccalaureate (IB) diploma programme has said “appropriate and timely measures” are being taken to remove all online posts that contain leaked exam questions, but did not disclose how many students had been caught cheating.

The IB said on Monday its investigation found that “students have engaged” in “time-zone cheating” activities. It noted on Sunday it had discovered “a very small number” of students had engaged in the practice and there was no evidence it was widespread.
