Students were requested to stand at the classroom corners while the search took place. Governors and teacher took away phones, chargers and phone cables once they found in students school bags, draws.

Students bodies were also searched apart from underwear. One student Lee hided the phone in his underwear and saved the phone.

The teacher read the chatting history in the smart phone and found his student was chatting with another opposite sex student on the inappropriate ‘romantic love’ topics.

The search involves both male and female students who were to have either high school entries exams (15-year-old) or college entries exams (18-year-old).
