Students may be seen wearing funny headcovers when they attend their exams in a video that has gone viral on social media. It was discovered that the images originated from a Philippine educational institution where applicants were advised to create and wear amusing headgear for their papers. They were referred to as "anti-cheating headwear" and were supposed to be optional.

A unique way to bar cheating

Students were spotted sporting headgear that made people think of a variety of animated cartoons and fictitious characters. They were seen in the video wearing headgear that looked like Pokémon, angry birds, chickens, ducks, and other animals. Not quite, as you may know, but interestingly, Red, Pikachu, and Chainsaw Man from the video game "Angry Birds" gave exams in the exam room.  Students were reportedly instructed to create their hat designs to receive bonus points for their originality. Additionally, it led to one student sporting headgear featuring the meme artist Khaby Lame and another just donning a bike helmet.

Instant hits on social media

On social media, the video went viral and elicited a range of responses. As everyone walked around selecting which hat looked the best, the conversation was mainly jovial. Remarkably, this is not the first time that the area has witnessed the use of such a technique to prevent exam cheating. Before now, similar incidents have also been documented and shared online. For the same reason, a video from an engineering institution in Legazpi City, Philippines, went viral in October 2022.
