Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

More than 1,600 pupils have been expelled from school for cheating in exams. Many took textbooks and notes into exam halls, while in other cases parents were caught throwing paper aeroplanes bearing the answers into classrooms.

The students were caught after a crackdown involving teachers, police and “flying squads” of education officials and magistrates who visited exam centres in the northern state of Bihar.
