Every year, throughout the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, millions of people are cut off from the Internet for lengthy periods while students take their school exams. Often used as a method to stop questions being leaked prior to exams as well as to prevent cheating during exams, these Internet shutdowns harm societies, economies, and the global Internet infrastructure – and they often don’t deter the most determined cheaters.</p>
