...Join hands
A law maker representing Ifako-Ijaiye Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives Mr Nurudeen Akinwunmi urged all stakeholders in the education sector to join hands to tackle the menace of examination malpractice.
Akinwunmi made the plea during a one-day seminar on the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), organised for over 2000 candidates in the constituency preparing for the examination.
He said that the rate of examination malpractice had led to laziness among students, adversely affecting the education system.
“Everybody should be involved to address the menace of exam malpractice in this country. Parents who choose “special centres” or give money to their children to pay for “special centres” should stop it.
“It is the societal problem that we all must rise up to tackle; that we cannot leave for the government alone to solve.
“All stakeholders in the education sector – parents, schools, teachers, students and examination bodies must be involved.
“It is a problem everybody must stand up and stand to ameliorate. We can only get better in our education, if merit is given a place.
“We must continue to put in efforts towards reducing examination malpractice,” the federal lawmaker said.
