    Taiwan bans invisible-ink pens from exams
    To prevent students from cheating during school exams, Taiwan on Monday banned the use of invisible-ink pens.”We will bar students from using invisible-ink pens during exams because many students are cheating with these pens,” Lee Yu-Chuan, from the Education Ministry’s Higher Education Department, told a news conference.Since an invisible-ink pen uses fluorescent ink, a student can write invisible notes on a piece of paper and take the paper to the exam. During the exam, he or she can then read the notes by shining the ultraviolet flash — which is at the other end of the pen — onto the paper.
