WAEC blacklists Abia schools over exam malpractice

By Steve Oko, Umuahia

The West African Examination Council, WAEC, had delisted a number of secondary schools in Abia State from participating in the regional body’s exams over involvement in examination malpractice.

Commissioner for Education Professor Uche Eme Uche, who disclosed this during a press briefing in Umuahia, said the state had just been informed by the exam body about the development.

Although she failed to disclose the affected schools, the commissioner said they were mostly private schools.

The commissioner, who frowned at any act capable of tarnishing the image of the state, said the operational licences of the affected schools would be withdrawn as a deterrent to others.

She explained that the state supported the action by WAEC as it would help halt the bastardization and lowering of academic standards in schools by some dubious operators.

Professor Uche said that the state had previously shut down some of the affected schools due to their unwholesome practices, regretting that instead of heeding the warnings, they continued to cut corners.

Speaking earlier, Commissioner for Information, Prince Okey Kanu, said that Governor Otti had approved the immediate renovation of 170 primary and 51 public secondary schools across the state.

He said 10 primary and three secondary schools would be selected from each of the 17 Local Government Areas in the state.

The renovation, according to him, is to give a facelift to public schools in the state and make them conducive and attractive for learning.

He explained that this was in addition to the six model schools currently being established in the three senatorial districts.

The government spokesman further disclosed that the governor had also approved the disbursement of N62 million in bursaries to Abia law undergraduates in different tertiary institutions across the country.

This, he said, was to assist them following the increase in their fees and cost of training amid the biting economic hardship.

On the schools’ renovation, the Commissioner for Education said each of the benefiting schools would have staff quarters, a Head teacher’ house, and a caretaker’s house to ensure water-tight security of the school property.

The gesture, according to her, is a demonstration of the high premium that the Otti-led administration attaches to education as the cornerstone of any society.

She said that the state government had resolved to revive and promote education in the state, adding that the renovation will be done in phases until all public schools in the state have received a facelift.

This is commendable. I urge all the South East states Governors to abolish "miracle centres" in the South East.

Hardly does any serious employer takes results from these states serious because of these proliferation of exam malpractice centres all over the South East.
WAEC and the state Governors should solicit the support of the DSS and EFCC to curb this crime.

If these students are taught well, they can actually sit down on their own, study hard and pass these exams without cheating. Mmesoma Ejikeme 's case is a good example of how not to cheat the system.

Don't be mischievous, there are miracle centers located in different parts of the country. Are you for real? Do you know the origin and location of oluwole certification in Nigeria?

Are you saying an employer will ignore a pupil from south east that had to score 139 to be admitted to Federal government schools and pick a student that was only required to score just 2 marks from other parts of the country?
That employer must be high on some cheap substance

You spend all your time on the internet looking for news to bring the South East down and same to glorify your Lagos and South West.

How many years have you done this now? Do you think you are getting any younger? Time waits for nobody. This is not an attack; this is a piece of advice!
