The Federal Government has proposed the establishment of a National Examination Malpractice Court/Tribunal for prompt prosecution of examination infractions.
Minister of Education, Tunji Alausa, made the disclosure in Abuja while receiving a committee report on improvement of quality examinations.
While affirming the recommendations of the 17-man committee, the minister expressed the hope that the development would improve the quality of examinations in the country.
He assured the committee members that all the 12-point recommendations would be implemented, noting that the government would deploy all its machinery to fight the menace of examination malpractice.
In one of the committee’s recommendations, the Federal Ministry of Education was advised to interface with the National Assembly to enact a law establishing a National Examination Malpractice Court/Tribunal for prompt prosecution of examination malpractices.
Another recommendation requested that documents, including certificates, registration and result slips, should contain National Identification Number, NIN, photograph, and date of birth of candidates, to prevent identity theft and impersonation.
