Title: Is it precise for verb ''to-fail'' to be followed by a passive infinitive?

Can the sentence ''He failed to be seen by his teacher, cheating in the exam hall'' said to be correct? One may argue people fail to achieve something only after they've ever attempted to accomplish it. It's a fact that in the great interest of any cheating examinee is to NOT be spotted by the invigilator.
