The Nigeria Examinations Committee (NEC) has directed the West
African Examinations Council (WAEC) to compile a “blacklist” of
supervisors and invigilators who were indicted in examination
malpractices.NEC, which is the highest policy making body for WAEC, gave the directive after its 52nd meeting at Excellence Hotel, in Lagos, at the weekend.
In a swift reaction, the Head of National Office of WAEC, Dr Iyi Uwadiae, said that the council would implement all the instructions given to it by the committee, saying that it would soon post the names of the schools concerned on the council’s website.
In a communiqué presented by the President of the All Nigeria Confederation of Principals of Secondary Schools, (ANCOPPS), Chief Adeniyi Falade, on behalf of the chairman of the committee, Mrs Mabel Ozumba, NEC urged WAEC to do so in order to ensure that such persons do not participate in any activity of the council anymore.
The committee, which investigated 81,573 cases of examination malpractices of the candidates who wrote the May/June 2011 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE), directed the council to derecognise over 1,000 schools that had been involved in malpractices across the country.
The committee called on state ministries of education and the Federal Capital Territory Administration, Abuja, to exercise caution in recommending schools as examination centres for WAEC, while also decrying the huge number of candidates being presented by schools for examinations.
