Of equal also said children could have essays annulled and be banned from examinations for a number of years if caught copying directly from the Internet or fellow pupils.
Teachers were also told to look out for the use of phases and spellings in American English, suggesting pupils had downloaded work from foreign websites.
This includes phrases such as "go get" for "go and get", "have gotten" instead of "have got" and "period" for "full-stop".
