You are a snitch. If you get the money you too for pay let's stop deceiving each other. Swear say you too nor write from the expo Muna4real: Examination malpractice is becoming worse as the days go by especially and in fact, only in Nigeria. Students no longer read ahead for their exams. What they do, is to "gather " money for the exams. The rate of exam malpractice has risen to the extent that even parents are involved in this shameful act. Let me tell you my story.
I sat for my WAEC exams in 2017. I actually started preparing for my exams in ss2 ,because I knew that my parents will never ever pay for Expo, and so I had to respect myself and do my best. While the exam date was approaching, I discovered that most boys in my class were not coming to school frequently as they were . As the class monitor, I was always marking them absent in the school register. So one day I decided to ask them why they don't come to school as often, and they told me that they had to gather money for Expo . They said that they cannot kill themselves reading everyday when they can just pay to pass. I was half surprised because they were not doing well in class Afterall. I tried to make them drop the idea but it was a fruitless effort.
My principal later appointed a particular teacher to be the school's exam coordinator. This man Ehh, is the state's top run's man. He runs for waec, jamb, neco, post utme, in fact, he is a top runner( so he made us believe). As the exams were approaching, he started collecting money for Expo, and he collected based on the importance of the subject. Example
Maths -5000
English -5000
Chemistry -5000
Physics -5000
Biology 4000
Commerce -3000
Tie and die -1500,and so on.
Students were paying and since I couldn't pay, I was reading. I became as thin as a broom stick. The teacher was even registering people who will not even write the exams. Those ones payed about 60000 . They couldn't write because they were working. I got to know all about this because this teacher will tell us to our faces to bring our loved ones who are willing to pay.
When the exams came, the first subject we wrote was maths. My people, come and see runs. I haven't seen any like it in my entire life. Those who payed were sitting at the back while we were sitting at the front. Sometimes the invigilator will taunt us and laugh at us because we refused to pay. What surprised me more was the amount the invigilator collected. My people, he requested for 350000. My class was large and in fact, another school was joining us, so we were up to 300. Our "Expo teacher " payed the money and added a slaughtered fowl which he asked me to buy (as the prefect of the class). I didn't know that I was buying fowl for an Expo invigilator ohh. He just said that I should buy fowl and I bought.
Through out the days we wrote the exams, the invigilators were payed. The teacher was writing personally for those who couldn't come to the school to write. He would take answer booklets, ask other teachers for the answers to the ones he doesn't know (all teachers were working together), write for them and submit. I wasn't scared because I was confident in what I wrote and in fact, the exams were simple for me . I only had difficulty in physics.
My people when the results were out, I passed ohh but guess who was the best student. The best student of my school 2017/1018 session was a pump attendant at one filling station in sapele who didn't even know the address of my school. He was one of those students my teacher was writing for. Chai. Ahh this life no balance.
When will malpractice stop in Nigeria? When will our youths begin to see that malpractice damages the society. These days, there are half baked graduated everywhere. Why? Why can't they just put enough hard work if they want to pass exams? Why? |

@Muna4real,
That's basically what happens to most of O'level exams this age. When you talk about nation's problem, that's part of what contributes to the economy degradation in subsequent years.
However, it doesn't have to be generalised as some still exercise discipline. It's cool you maintained ur stand, the difference will show in many years to come..

MalaikaEH: Exam malpractice is caused by proliferation of schools and it's actually what the students want. New schools should meet certain criteria before they open. School authorities allow exam malpractice mainly because they have no or limited choice. I know of a school, two years ago, where the principal was new. He was the "born again Christian" type of person. While addressing the students on his first day, he told them that he will never allow exam malpractice of any type, especially in all external exams advising the students to study hard. This was before SS3 began their WAEC registrations. Out of over seventy SS3 students at the time, only six registered and wrote the exam at that school. The rest left for other schools where they thought they will feel free.
This year, the same principal is allowing malpractice at his school.
Stopping exam malpractice won't be possible unless all schools and parents take the decision collectively, which I doubt can ever happen with freewill. It can only happen when education authorities wake up and make laws that impose heavy fines on offenders.
Also, students who fail internal promotion exams should repeat the class as was the practice before. Only those who pass entrance exams should be admitted into schools. Admissions should not be an all comers affair.
If the education authorities at all levels will look into the aforementioned areas and device workable means of enforcing them, the system will cleanse itself with time. 1 Like |

I wonder how some people feel comfortable parading fake and unmerited results and certificates. these goes to the lecturers too. how can you be parading result sheet influenced by money.
I remember my philosophy course in futo. I used my elder sister book on philosophy to study and I was very sure of at least a C' grade when i wrote the exam. to my greatest shock dr Anthony Uzoma failed me and he told me that my name is not in his book purchase register. I had carry over and the day I went to his office, I paid for the book and refused to collect it. he was ashamed when I told him that ' I have given you the money that you valued most, I will still use my sisters book.
this thing is more common with lecturers that studied in Nigeria. I will start a campaign against money for grades. 5 Likes |

The initiation and propagation of this menace started in families when we lost ethical values for everything. Now, it is haunting us and we have not even gotten to the peak of this anomaly. The solution remains the family; this is not rocket science.
But the reality is that those permitting this evil are unknowingly exchanging posterity for a mere porridge. The effects will hit hard on all of us one time or another. When we close our eyes and assume that nothing could be done about this, we are only ignoring a foundation that would soon collapse. And its effect will be resounding. Today, we hear of architectural failures, unending health crises and societal wickedness, but we failed to realise they were corner stones of yesteryears ignored and unattended to. And same will the next generation bear the brunt of our today's negligence. 5 Likes 3 Shares |

I wish WAEC, NECO, NABTEB and JAMB would hire undercover candidates to sit their exams. These candidates should be equipped with spy cameras and sit in all centers to give reports. All the exams I wrote pre-uni were fraught with fraud.
On the day of GCE Economics, the supervisor collected 50 naira from ALL candidates so we could cheat. I paid so as not to be seen as the bad egg. I didn't cheat because I couldn't do it. The next day, it was Biology. They again started collecting 50 naira. I told them I won't pay. The supervisor said I have to so I could cheat. I said I had no intention of cheating, as I'd rather fail. They left me alone and didn't ask again.
In JAMB, it was the same story. During WASSCE, the teachers solved mathematics and distributed the answers to the students. I was told to use them. I refused and one of the teachers said he solved them himself, and I told him I didn't believe them even though I hadn't seen them. The issue is that these teachers fail to realize that the person doing the marking can easily detect if there was mass cheating. Imagine there was a mistake by the teacher and everyone who copied the answer made the same mistake.
We need to revamp the way we conduct our examinations to reduce cheating. 4 Likes 1 Share |

whemmytopsy: And one of the reasons why this will not stop is because of the new o'level plus jamb rating that forces students to hunt for higher grades to have a course of their choice, gone are the days that with C6 in your result plus good jamb score, you can get admission into any course of your choice including Medcine, on a level playing ground, we all know that having 'A' is a difficult one, yet students now need it to gain admission into their choice of course... Anything will have go for it, people that wrote WAEC like 10-12 years ago will agree with me that for a brilliant student to have 'B' in waec those days is a Herculean task, Now you see an obvious dunce having all 'A'.... If we continue with this same system of grading... We are Very Far from getting things right. I wrote my WAEC 9 years ago and I know what you're saying is true. So true 1 Like |

Wonderful isn't it? I like his idea and every school should be informed aforehand. If we don't see the footage for any of your exam, your entire results will be withheld. Schools will be forced to comply. It is costly no doubt and what they can do is to add the logistics cost on the exam fees. Should they charge N500 to N1000 more per candidate, I believe it will cover the cost nationwide. 5 Likes 1 Share |
