The Imo Government has set up a monitoring committee to checkmate malpractices, as the 2023 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) begins.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The Commissioner for Education, Imo, Prof. Johncliffe Nwadike, disclosed this while speaking with newsmen in Owerri, on Monday.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Nwadike, a former Head of Department of History and International Studies at the Imo State University, Owerri, said all possible loopholes for examination malpractices had been blocked.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He said the committee would rove from one part of the state to another to ensure strict compliance with set standards for the examination.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
According to him, a special team had also been set up to monitor members of the committee and make it difficult for them to compromise standard.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Permanent Secretary of the Ministry and I set up a special squad to monitor the committee and supervise the supervisors to ensure strict compliance with set standards.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\u201cWe interacted with the WAEC Coordinator in Imo, carried out sensitisation in schools, on the need for principals to nominate as supervisors those who can protect their integrity.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\u201cWe also organised a workshop for supervisors, where we told them that violations of guidelines for the exams would attract sanctions such as suspension, demotion or outright dismissal,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He also said that reagents and chemicals required for laboratory tests were ready, adding that candidates in the state would not lack any necessary items needed.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He, however, assured Imo people that the ministry was working in close cooperation with the Federal Ministry of Education to ensure the release of all outstanding results for the 2022 WASSCE.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He urged candidates, schools and supervisors in Imo, to fully cooperate with the arrangements to ensure a smooth conduct of the examinations.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He expressed confidence that students in the state would excel in the examinations.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
