Authorities this year announced stepped-up efforts to crack down on cheating after more than 1,000 applicants were caught cheating on China's civil servant exams, with some using earpieces and wireless transmitters.

The two teachers could face up to three years in prison if convicted, the report said, without specifying what charges they would possibly face.

No students were likely to face charges as the scheme was busted before it could be carried out, Xinhua said
