CONCEPT OF EXAMINATION MALPRACTICES


Nigeria’s education system like any other country has its problems, lapses, controversies and issues. Many problems confront Nigeria educational system and institutions. Prominent among them is the issue of examination malpractice.
Public campaigns and enlightenment programes embarked on by government and non-government organizations on the need for elimination of examination malpractice have not yielded the desired results, not even the introduction of jail terms for culprits.
Examination malpractice is a kind of conduct that violates the acceptable laid down rules and regulations of Nigerian institutions. On the other hand, examination malpractice is any wrong doing before, during or after any examination. Although this problem has been there long ago, the current trend is alarming and calls for urgent and pragmatic solutions to save the nation’s most important sector. Whereas, in the past, students tended to hide the acts, now, they advertise them with reckless abandon.
