How WAEC And Others Can Eliminate Cheating In Exams. by Ezi39: 9:15am On Oct 15, 2017
There is no doubt that cheating is going on each time WAEC, NECO, etc. conduct exam in Nigeria. There is a growing consensus that the situation is dire-and looking bleaker everyday.
The malpractice in the exam centres has reached a level of blatant disregard for exam ethics in Nigeria.
Many efforts to bring blatant violators into compliance had failed. It is on that note that I am writing this piece to proffer solutions to these exam bodies in Nigeria.
MY SOLUTIONS ARE AS FOLLOW:
1. Avoid Using Teachers to conduct External exams: WAEC and others should use their staffs to police public exams. The use of teachers should be abolished. This is because many schools have capitalised on it to help exam candidates cheat during external exams. An unobtrusive camera is needed to know what I'm saying here.

2. WAEC And Others Should Upgrade: JAMB has just started it. Others should emulate them. The use of technology will no doubt reduce the cheating during public exams to a trickle.
Imagine having a camera in each centre! no exam candidate will dare cheat when he knows that he is being monitored. This is just an example of the technological upgrade that can be applied.

These remain the two best solutions that will no doubt curb exam malpractice in Nigeria. The exam bodies have done what they could to precipitate an end to the cheating in public exams, but those who are policing the exams are not immune from bribery.
The parents have not also helped matters, as their pressure have caused many school owners to engage teachers in cheating during public exams.
WAEC should know that those results being returned to them, is because those who are policing the exams have conspired with teachers to cheat. There is no way cheating can hold if the people policing exam say no to it.
