10/06/2006: Phillipines: Arroyo gives NBI till Monday to wrap up nursing test probe:"PRESIDENT Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo has given the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) until Monday to submit its report on its investigation the leak-tainted June 2006 nursing licensure examinations. Executive Secretary Eduardo Ermita said Friday the NBI report -- one of two requisites the Palace said it needs before deciding on whether or not a retake of the controversial nursing board exam is needed -- will be discussed in Tuesday's Cabinet meeting."

I really don't understand what the discussion is about. The test was tainted, students had access to it before the exam was given.

The only way to make sure everyone that passed did so on merit is for everyone to retake the test.

Does it make it tougher on the honest students, sure. But it makes it a lot more difficult on the students that cheated in the first place.
