Tinubu’s govt condemns exam malpractice, says cheating unacceptable
President Bola Tinubu’s administration has condemned examination malpractice in Nigerian schools. His administration had vowed to tackle the menace head-on.
Tunji Alausa, Mr Tinubu’s minister of education, disclosed this in a recent interview on Channels TV.
“We have problems with examination malpractice, which we are addressing frontally as a government,” Mr Alausa said. “This is not acceptable because if you let people cheat, you will disincentivise the hardworking people.”
The education minister vowed that the examination malpractice menace in Nigerian schools will be tackled.
“We will tackle this issue of ‘miracle centre’, this pervasive exam cheating decisively.
“We would bring a complete end to this menace that has invaded our educational system,” Mr Alausa said.
