Anambra State Government has restated its commitment to eradicating examination malpractices among teachers and pupils.
Commissioner for Education Prof. Ngozi Chuma-Udeh stated this while addressing principals and head teachers of schools in the state during a pre-resumption meeting.
She warned that the administration would not condone examination malpractice.
She chided some teachers for allegedly assisting pupils to earn unmerited grades in examinations, stressing that such actions could lead to destruction of such kids, who could hardly defend their certificates.
“In line with Governor Chukwuma Soludo’s commitment to get education in Anambra State right, any teacher who aids and abets examination malpractice under my watch shall face the full weight of the law,” she warned.
The President, All Nigeria Confederation of Principals of Secondary Schools, Mr. Jovita Arazu, while responding on behalf of others, pledged support of teachers in the state to Commissioner Chuma-Udeh’s resolve to stamp out examination.
He suggested blacklisting of supervisors who were found culpable.
