Shun Malpractice, WAEC Warns Students Ahead Of Exams

The West African Examinations Council , has warned students, as well as schools, to shun all forms of exam malpractice ahead of the commencement of the examinations.

Speaking further, Areghan also warned Schools and candidates to resist the temptation to patronise dubious websites that would claim to have examination questions at their disposal. “We cannot claim not to know that they are right now strategizing on their evil machinations,” he said.Months after schools have been shut as a result of the COVID-19, the Minister of State for Education, Emeka Nwajiuba, announced on Monday that the WAEC exams will commence from August 4 to September 5.

Areghan, therefore, appealed to governments at various levels, Multi-National companies, corporate organizations and philanthropic individuals, to offer their assistance, to avoid the spread of the disease.ADDRESS BY MR. PATRICK E.

A total of One Million Five Hundred and Forty-Nine Thousand Four Hundred and Sixty Three candidates have registered for the diet from 19,129 schools out of which 786,421 are males and 763,042 are females. In conducting the examination, we have taken due cognizance of the various measures/protocols rolled out by the Federal and State governments of Nigeria, aimed at checking the spread of the pandemic. We have encapsulated all these measures in a pamphlet which will be circulated to all stakeholders for their necessary guidance.

No doubt, all these measures have financial implications which were not contemplated at the time of drawing up the budget for the conduct of the examination. The big question looming now is how can this extra fund be raised?
