WAEC goes tough with examiners aiding, abetting examination malpractices
The West African Examination Council (WAEC) has warned examiners against aiding and abetting examination malpractices.
The Zonal Controller of WAEC, Sofela Bisi, gave this warning in Minna, Niger State, while briefing supervisors ahead of the commencement of West African Senior School Certificate Examinations.
He said anyone caught with such infractions will be penalized and the school involved deregistered.
He said some supervisors initiate malpractice in schools they are posted.
According to him, “Some supervisors request money from students to allow the cheat or sell of examination questions. Our exams are to measure standards and not to negotiate and sell our questions.”
Sofela charged principals of schools in Niger State to ensure they participate fully in monitoring examinations in their schools
He said doing so would afford them the opportunity to have first-hand information about the things perpetrated by some supervisors.
“Be on ground to monitor to see what some of them do as some collect money from students,” he said.
He urged principals to recommend people of integrity for supervision, not those who value money over hard work.
“I appeal to you to only give us people who value hard work over money, “ Sofela added.
