Examination malpractice has become a huge and terrible education barrier that's continuously affecting a country educational system....
In Africa, examination malpractice become notable in 1977 during may/june West African school certificate examination. A final year examination done by the West Africa countries which happens to consist of senegal Gambia Ghana Nigeria and other West Africa countries. In that year there was terrible exposure of examination questions in all the West Africa countries even before the examination commence and it was this same 1977 examination malpractice started in Africa which has now turned to normal routine of our educational system
examination malpractice is therefore define as the educational fraud, crime, which involves the parents, students, school management, school security guard and their managements
the basis of examination malpractice are
#poverty
#unqualified teacher
#inappropriate teaching and learning
#poor school infrastructural
#poor salary scheme
💥💥💥form of examination malpractice include*
🌼 storing examinations and answer inside mobile phone
🌼 creating examination center in rural area
🌼 receiving assistance from external body
🌼 causing distraction and hullabaloo to enable already solved answer come into examination hall
🌼 accessing examination questions and answers through the internet
🌼 *tutors soliciting and wooing colleagues for awarding grades for their wards, children's and relative *
🌼 students issuing threat to the supervisors and invigilators
💥💥here are the numerous causes of examination malpractice
🌼parent influence-...it's a thing of sorrow that most parents involved in malpractices, they pay their childrens fees to enroll in a rural environment where corrupt schools are located so as to get help from the teachers.
🌼 private school approval
The approval given for the creation of private school by the government should be critically looked into.... Most private school are not qualified on the basis of infrastructural, staff and implementation as most of the private schools are centers used for examination malpractices
🌼 corrupt staff used as invigilators and supervisors
Educational and examinations bodies should try all their best of retaining and employing honest, trustworthy and loyal staff and members to prevent unnecessary and usual leakage of examination questions.
However one of the effects of malpractice is that the childrens won't be unable to depend on themselves, leading to several failure of students and indeed exposure of several students from higher institution, funny enough the parents and the tutors encouraging them won't be there when they faces their problems in the nearest future...
It a great calamity event, that findings and research shows that over 100 students was rusticated yearly in most African higher institution due to the inabilities of the students to cope and pass their tests and examinations, some we even be downgraded from a courses of high caliber to a low level course due to their poor academics performance... What a pity for a students who is unable to make a CGPA of 1.0 per semester/session
In conclusion I hereby plead with all parents, wards and friends to go against examination malpractices .
