【译文】
然而，在官员们想出了新奇想法的同时，作弊者也是如此。位于小城市印多尔的圣雄甘地纪念学院里面有一名医学生在2月份被抓获，他的耳朵被手术植入了一个皮肤色的蓝牙设备。一部与该设备相连的手机被缝在一个秘密的裤兜里。去年，10名参加实习教师考试的学生因试图使用隐藏在人字拖鞋底的蓝牙设备而被逮捕。至少有25名学生以60万卢比（7，700美元）一双的价格从一个团伙那里购买了这种鞋。学生在考试前通常被强制脱掉鞋子和袜子。家长有时也会帮助作弊。2015年，数十名家长爬上一栋五层楼的外墙，将答案传给在里面参加一个重要的年终考试的学童。包括家长在内的数百人被逮捕，至少有750名学生被开除。

In February， a medical student at Mahatma Gandhi Memorial College in Indore， a small city， was caught with a skin-coloured Bluetooth device surgically implanted in his ear.
位于小城市印多尔的圣雄甘地纪念学院里面有一名医学生在2月份被抓获，他的耳朵被手术植入了一个皮肤色的蓝牙设备。
句子主干是：a medical student was caught
a small city是同位语，用于修饰前面的Indore，with a skin-coloured Bluetooth device 是介词短语作状语，surgically implanted in his ear是过去分词作后置定语，修饰a skin-coloured Bluetooth device。
The problem may be with the education system itself， rather than any innate dishonesty among students. Teachers receive low salaries and can be bribed to help or turn a blind eye. Schools care about pass rates. Learning revolves around memorisation rather than understanding or reasoning. Outes are poor. Exams requiring thought rather than regurgitation would be harder to memorise， says Ms Sinha. The quality of education would improve， too. The Indian government is mulling changes to the way it assesses students at higher levels. Until then， the cat-and-mouse game between students and invigilators is doomed to continue.
