BUSTED!! WAEC Blacklists Abia Schools Over Exam Ma

The West African Examination Council (WAEC) has delisted some secondary schools in Abia state from participating in the regional body’s exams for involving in examination malpractice.
Commissioner for Education, Professor Uche Eme Uche, who disclosed this during a press briefing in Umuahia, the state capital, said that the state had just been informed by the exam body about the ugly development.

Although she failed to disclose the affected schools, the commissioner stated that most of the schools affected were private schools.

The commissioner, who frowned at any act capable of tarnishing the image of the state, said the operational licences of the affected schools would be withdrawn as a deterrent to others.

She explained that the state supported the action by WAEC as it would help halt the bastardization and lowering of academic standards in schools by some dubious operators.

Professor Uche said that the state had previously shut down some of the affected schools due to their unwholesome practices, regretting that instead of heeding the warnings, they continued to cut corners.
