The Federal Government has announced plans to put an end to ‘Miracle Examination Centres’ across the country.
Minister of Education Dr. Tunji Alausa made this known during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Tuesday.
According to Dr. Alausa, the Tinubu administration is determined to tackle the menace of examination malpractice head-on. He noted that the government has a problem with examination malpractice, which is unacceptable as it disincentivises hardworking students.
“We have problem with examination malpractice which we are addressing frontally as a government.
“This is not acceptable because if you let people cheat, you will disincentivise the hardworking people.
“We will tackle this issue of miracle centre, this pervasive exam cheating decisively.
“We would bring a complete end to this menace that has really invaded our educational system,” he added.
The Minister also revealed that the government has worked on a plan to train five universities that would also train other public institutions nationwide. This, he said, is aimed at improving the quality of Nigeria’s tertiary system.
