Examination malpractice is as old as Nigeria itself and its impact on the sector and the nation as a whole is crippling and retrogressive, writes Head, Education Desk, Iyabo Lawal. The devastating effects of examination malpractices are normally expressed via the erosion of creativity, resourcefulness, ingenuity, technical know-how, and moral values. Industries and corporate organisations endure because individuals who are qualified for the jobs are in the actual sense not certified for the jobs - they cheated their way via, most often via examination malpractices. The older generation is wont to say that today’s students are lazy and are adept at cheating in the course of exams but the history of cheating in exams is as old as Nigeria.


Lengthy just before 1960, students in the nation have been cheating their way via to achievement. Examination malpractice was 1st recorded in the nation in 1914. In the course of that year, it was reported that the query papers of the Senior Cambridge Nearby Examinations had been seen by candidates just before the scheduled date of the exam. Ever since then, examinations and students have in no way remained the exact same once again. By 1970, the predicament has gone out of the frying pan into the fire - not only students are now engaged in the act. Their parents, uncles, brothers, sisters, cousins, and regrettably, teachers and examiners have turn out to be portion of the cheating gang. In 2000, at least six per cent of the 636,064 candidates who sat for the West African Examination Council (WAEC)-organised examination had been involved in one particular type of malpractice or a different.


In 2001, five per cent of the 1,025,185 candidates for the examination have been involved in examination malpractice.

Though in 2004, there was a further enhance to 11 per cent (of the 1,035,280 candidates for the examination). In its decades of existence, the exam physique has been promoting the notion of tough perform and honesty in youths via its awards for outstanding efficiency in its examinations.

The council registrar, Iyi Uwadiae set the tone for the discussion when he reeled out the dangers of examination malpractice and how it has manifested in several segments of the society.


The WAEC chief lamented that examination malpractice has remained a thorn in the flesh of examining bodies. He warned that the consequences of examination malpractice on educational institutions and the society are grave and worrisome. Apart from the damage it does to the image of examining bodies in terms of credibility or reputation, enormous quantity of sources are committed annually into the fight against the malaise.bloomberg.comyohaig.ng</a> Over the years, appeals have gone to stakeholders in the sector to companion WAEC a lot more seriously in the fight against the cankerworm. One particular of the ways we can do this it to use this summit as a platform to produce tips and strategies, which will set the stage for the eradication of examination malpractice in our sub-region.


On her portion, the council chairperson, Dr Evelyn Kandakai warned that the consequences of examination malpractice on our national and sub-regional improvement are grave and frightening, as its multiplier impact on our national economies is overly destructive. She lamented that some parents have continued to assist their kids physically and financially to cheat in public examinations, though also faulting the role of some college authorities and teachers who developed the environment for the cankerworm to thrive. According to her, "Examination malpractice represents one particular of the worst forms of corruption in the sector. Two incredibly vital measurement concepts are seriously compromised. Validity- which centres on regardless of whether the test measures what it is supposed to measure and reliability -no matter whether the test benefits are constant.


WAEC has continued to deploy all weapons in its arsenal and utilise each and every obtainable chance to fight and discourage the die-tough perpetrators of examination malpractice. We have made frantic appeals to all stakeholders in the education sector to companion with us in the fight against this scourge that is endangering the good quality of academic achievements and human capital development in our sub-region. She added that the consequences of examination malpractice on our national and sub-regional development are grave and frightening, as its multiplier effect on our national economies is overly destructive. Eminent scholar and instant previous chairman of the council, Prof Pius Obanya who was the keynote speaker mentioned the society’s emphasis on certificates over intellectual capability was responsible for examination.


He stated there had been several holders of certificates with higher grades who could not defend those certificates due to the fact they did not essentially earn them. The seasoned educationist stated it is not vital for students to sit for formal examinations either as promotional or for admission as the practice in Africa. We sit for as well quite a few examinations in Africa. Whereas what we have to have is to assess each student based on their peculiarity mainly because there are thousands of aspects that can have an effect on one’s performance in an examination. So, who you are and what you can do are what genuinely matter just as it is the practice in the developed countries of the world.


The all round aim of education is to shape the behaviour of students so that he can perform correctly within his social milieu. WAEC, in the early 1970s, initial witnessed mass cheating in the course of exams and has due to the fact been grappling with the menace. In 1977, a judicial commission of inquiry was set up to look into the affairs of WAEC in relation to the dilemma of efficient conduct of examinations and prompt release of final results. Among other points, the committee acknowledged the excessive workload of WAEC and advised that its workload need to be reduced by establishing some far more examination bodies, which could take over some of its a lot of examinations.

Teachers at that time served the functions of each teachers in the college and as function models to the students. There was a powerful hyperlink involving the residence and the school.


The household, society, and college cooperated to raise the kids effectively. With the advent of the Universal Simple Education (UBE), education specialists mentioned items are no longer at ease as there was a good uptick in student’s enrolment in schools without having adequate preparation in terms of staffing and infrastructure. The restricted number of teachers remaining in the schools could no longer cope with their functions. As a result, morals and expertise acquisition took a downward spiral - in which exam malpractice is a symptom. Even though the Federal Government promulgated laws, which stipulated a 4-year-jail term for any individual located guilty of examination malpractice, the act has develop into the norm rather than the exception. In a nation exactly where exam malpractice thrives, lots of of its citizens will finish up being insensible, dishonest, ignorant, narrow-minded, myopic, deceptive, and disingenuous. Examination malpractice puts youths and pros in a predicament that leads to a future of social-political and economic bankruptcy. From time to time when caught, students have had to repeat classes, retake the exams, dismissed from school hence wasting cash, time and efforts that could have been place to productive use. The importance of examination for diagnosis, placement, classification and good quality manage in schools has been eroded.
