Unbeliveable-some Candidates Forget Expo In Answer Booklets – WAEC by TeenWeb: 1:22pm On Sep 23, 2016 |
In a hurry to submit their answer booklets to invigilators,
some candidates forget their expo (materials used for
examination malpractice) in the booklets, the West African
Examination Council has said.
The council also noted that some other candidates use
different answer booklets from its authorised copies.
Its Public Relations Officer, Mr. Demianus Ojijeogu, who
confirmed this in an interview with our correspondent,
however, added that the council had reduced the incidence
of impersonation in its examinations through its biometric
registration process
He said, “We encounter malpractice during the
examination and during marking. Some leave the expo in
the answer booklets. We see that all the time. Others use
other answer booklets different from the council’s own.
But, we discover these things during marking because the
booklets do not have our serial numbers and they are not
usually signed by the supervisors. Supervisors usually
sign the booklets before they are given to the candidates.
“We have been able to handle impersonation through our
biometric process but there is still collusion where
candidates will copy exactly the same answers usually
dictated by a teacher. We have our invigilators but the
number is limited. When you leave the centre or before
we get there, they will do what they want.”
He added that the council was still dealing with challenges
of collusion, which involved teachers aiding candidates
during examination.
Ojijeogu, who said that some candidates harassed
supervisors, noted that the development had forced the
council to adopt a more discreet approach in making
announcements regarding examination malpractice.
“We no longer make noise about examination malpractice
because examination supervision is a hazardous job.
When candidates engage in malpractice, we just take their
number and they fill a form. Some of our workers have
been held hostage, female supervisors have been
harassed. It is a hazardous job,” he added. |
