The West African Examination
Council (WAEC) says students guilty of malpractice will not be allowed to write
the exams for a number of years.
This is part of the resolutions
made at the recent 65th Nigeria examinations committee (NEC) meeting which held
in Lagos.
According to a communiqué signed
by Demianus Ojijieogu, head, public affairs, the committee approved various
sanctions for all established cases of malpractice.
“In the course of considering
various reported cases of malpractice, the committee, after diligent
deliberations approved appropriate sanctions in all established cases of
malpractice, as prescribed by the rules and regulations governing the conduct
of the council’s examination,” the communique read.
“It approved the entire results
of candidates involved in proven cases, which attract cancellation of entire
results (CER) while subject results of those involved in proven cases which
attract cancellation of subject results (CSR) be similarly cancelled.
“In addition, some candidates
will also suffer other sanctions such as barring them from sitting for the
council’s examinations for a certain number of years.
“The decision of the committee
will be implemented without delay and the affected candidates and examination
centres duly informed by the council. However, the results of candidates who
were exonerated by the committee will be released.”
WAEC said it will use the
differentia profile application to detect examination irregularities in
multiple-choice questions.
