SSCE: Kwara Govt warns schools on examination malpractice
The Kwara State Government through a press release signed by the Press Secretary to the Ministry of Education and Human Capital Development, Yakub K. Aliagan has stressed that it would not condone any act of examination malpractices in the state.
The Kwara State Commissioner for Education and Human Capital Development, Hajia Ahmed Fatimah Bisola issued the warning on Friday at a deliberation session with the Kwara Chapter of All Nigerian Confederation of Principals of Secondary Schools (ANCOPSS), National Association of Proprietors of Private Schools held at St Anthony Secondary school, Ilorin.
She said, “Let me use this medium to warn you that the State government will not hesitate to deal with any Principal or School found wanting on his duties during the forthcoming WAEC/NECO examinations. As we all know, the West African School Certificate examination will start on 17th August, 2020”.
She stated that both parents and students are advised on the need to read their books and abide by the rules and regulations that guide the examination.
“You should all go back and hand down my warning to all invigilators, parents and students. If any amount has been paid for such examination malpractice services, you should return it before it is too late”.
The commissioner, however maintained that aside swapping Principals to different schools, there will be undercover invigilators and intelligent officers in order to enforce strict adherence.
