2.1 The History of Examination Malpractice in
Nigeria
Examination
and Examination malpractice are sensitive issues, they have been issues of
interest to the educationalists. Over
the years and as a result a lot has been said and written about it.
Examination
malpractice is not a new phenomenon in Nigeria as well as indeed in any part of
the world. The first examination
malpractice in Nigeria was reported in 1914, when there was a leakage of
question papers into the Cambridge Local Examination. Others traced the origin of examination
malpractice in the wave of cancellation of Nigeria’s candidate’s paper in 1948
because it possessed history? During the 1940s Matriculation Examinations to
the then Yaba Nigeria Technical Soycle (1991).
To expatiate this, Bello Sani (2002) Jamb Registrar said that thirty out
of one hundred and sixty-six examination towns were involved in cheating and
malpractices, while forty-five thousand candidates seeking admission had their
results cancelled in the year 2002 because of examination malpractice.
Hence, it is
therefore not a surprise to find leakage; impersonation and forgery; there is
little or no regard for paper qualification.
