The answer

It is not permissible to correct students' answers in tests, whether the student has failed or passed, because that constitutes cheating and a betrayal of trust. There is no obedience to a creature in disobedience to the Creator. The Permanent Committee has issued a fatwa stating that supervisors dictating answers to students is cheating, betrayal, and unlawful, due to the generality of the hadith: "Whoever cheats us is not of us." Ibn Uthaymeen mentioned that a student should report a teacher who tells him the answer to the administration.
