Why NECO Scrapped Use Of Scratch Cards In Examination by zakim(m): 6:41am On Jun 03, 2019 |
The National Examination Council (NECO) over the weekend scrapped the use of Scratch cards in is examination with the procurement of 8,000 biometric capturing machines worth N500 million. Speaking in an interview with Journalists at NECO headquarter in Minna at the weekend, the Chairman of Governing Council Abubakar Sadiq said the scratched cards were eliminated because it became a source of financial leakage in NECO and also racketeering. He explained that the racketeers are hoarding cards and students find it difficult to get the cards. “So we removed scratch card and now with biometric machines people can use their handset to register for the examination and whatever is realized goes straight into our Treasury Single Account (TSA) account, so it will also boast transparency.” He said they want to pass out the benefit of the reduction which the president has made to their own students otherwise they will be cheated. According to him, the machines will capture every data from every student and school so on examination day, “our monitors will go to schools so all those who have registered will go through a process by placing their finger on the machine to ascertain if they are the candidate registered or not, with this it will be impossible for anyone to impersonate anyone.” “We are sure this will deal with impersonation and any school or examination centre that refuses to use the machines will be cancelled,” he said. He also said students will be given numbers at the point of registration to use to access their result. Also speaking, the Acting Registrar, Abubakar Gana, said the biometric verification machines and the 20 Toyota Hilux vans were procured to tackle impersonation and ease movement of examination materials.

zakim: The bold part explains it all why there will still be cheating in the exam. Have you forgotten this is Nigeria where people do anything for money? The fact still remains,there will still be cheating. |

They should consider the stability of the network before embarking on it Students in secondary school and in ss3 classes, are they expected to have android phones❓ especially those in the missionary schools where they are not allowed to stay in boarding homes with a handset. All this plans are to toughen external examinations like, Waec Neco Jamb Gce What plans have they put in place for teachers to teach thoroughly ❓ 1 Like |

Rotjijatau:They should find something else to sell. It is not only neco scratch card that is available for sell now. When the advantages outweighs the disadvantages, we do the needful. The fear of importers of generators being pushed out of business is the major reason Nigeria will never experience 24hrs power supply. If you know you know. |
