It is a contagious dilemma that constantly greets the accademic world to which several methods have been sought to cure this infectious disease in the students and lecturers involved. Like the sun that rises and sets so does exam malpractice rise and fade but the question is what is the cure? To understand what is the cure is to know first what is the cause. Like the wise man once said a corrupt tree gives birth to corrupt fruits but today we attack the fruits and spare the tree? A lecturer tells his students read study learn and do my assignments but when you submit it, make sure you put 1000 or 2000 or 5000. Is this not the genesis of the book of corruption? This wicked people call this monies they charge wonderful names that include: lamp, passport,torch,anointing, and so forth.
When a student struggles to pay his school fee only to meet another fee that the school authority has not approved but is unofficially aware because shockingly from findings so far made, the disciplinary body set up to look in and check such illegality is made up of those same lecturers who run those pay and pass cartel. Hardly do you find a lecturer who is not directly or indirectly involved in the unwholesome practice. There exists lecturers who have not eaten from that table this I believe but finding them is not easy for the task is like looking for a needle in a hay stack. Since many are involved how do we end it? My suggestion hence is students should be made part of the disciplinary body. Stiff laws should be enacted. Jail terms handed offenders be they the touchable or untouchable class notwithstanding. Lecturers and students who consciously walk into the exam malpractice web should be tried by exam bodies of the school comprising of students lecturers religiouseaders and reputable legal practitioners publicly to serve as a deterrent to upcoming and already practicing exam malpractitioners and jail term should not be less than ten years because this should be regarded as a rape of the accademic world and offenders should be treated as criminals. If this is done, crime rate I believe will drop if no totally but very significantly. Thank you. I'll be back with more ideas for solution to this embarrassment that is greeting the academic world for suggestions you can call me on 08140119055 or +2348140119055.
