Examination Malpractice has become a norm in the nation’s Education system, and in a move to curb it the Oyo State Government  will henceforth penalise Principals and Teachers fingered in any form of it, and falsification of documents, fingered by the West African Examination Council (WAEC).

Making this threat in Ibadan, the State Capital, was the Honourable Commissioner for Education, Science and Technology, Barrister Rahman Abiodun Abdu-Raheem, while reacting to a report, indicting some schools by the West African Examination Council (WAEC) in the conduct of the recently released result in the State.

Condemning the act, Abdu-Raheem, said  such acts of corruption and malpractices would not be tolerated henceforth, vowing that anyone found culpable of such offences, the headship of such school will be made to face the full wrath of the law.

The Education Commissioner stressed that under the leadership of Governor Seyi Makinde, it has vowed not to compromise hard-work for dishonesty.

He emphasized that the present Government is putting everything aright in the education sector of the State, through provision of funds, regular payment of salaries, arrears and promotions.

He emphasized zero tolerance for examination malpractices by the present administration, stating that the end result of examination malpractices is not just suicidal but capable of painting the State in bad light, also messing up and destroying the future of the young ones

In the same vein, the Chairman, Teaching Service Commission, Akinade Alamu, cautioned School managements and teachers to be wary of such acts.
