IELTS scam, Curtin University employee charged with fraud
An inquiry into an English language
test scam at Curtin University has found usernames and passwords were
shared to falsify scores.
A Corruption and Crime Commission report tabled in Parliament today
found a former Curtin University staff member accepted bribes to log
into the International English Language Testing System under another
staff member's name to change scores. The tests are part of the Department of
Immigration and Citizenship's application process for visas or permanent
residency.
Mr Kok Keith Low, a former staffer at the university, is one of 12 people
to receive sentences for a total of 73 counts of bribery.
Mr Low is currently serving
a two-year sentence over his involvement in the scheme.The report said a number of
factors allowed Mr Low to alter the scores of those doing the IELTS tests including:
- Curtin staff were involved in the testing shared usernames and
passwords to access the Australia-wide IELTS database if it crashed,
allowing Mr Low to logon using the name of other staff.
- The IELTS database could only detect the last score entered and could not track
changes made to test scores.
- Periodical audits of the test forms used in the tests were not conducted. Curtin
University has since cancelled its involvement in IELTS and the database has been
upgraded.
