Nurain
(2005) stated some possible solutions which are:
i. Teachers should be trained properly in
their fields. They will then have the
tactics to follow on how to finish the syllabus for a particular term or at
least a large part of it.
ii. Holidays may be more in number but reduced
in length as students are reluctant to resume from long holidays.
iii. Guidance counselors should be employed in
all schools to guide the students on study habits, career prospects and
requirement for various careers.
iv. Continuous assessment should be practiced
correctly; it will reduce examination malpractices as 40% of marks are
accumulated from various assessment techniques such as projects and assignments
before actual examination.
v.
The number of invigilators and
supervisors should be increased in the examination halls. Examination officers, vice-principals and
principals should occasionally pay visits to examination halls to observe what
is going on. In this way, they could
notice any cheating behavior.
vi.
The students should be thoroughly
searched before entering the hall. Apart
from photographs, finger prints on certificates should be used for
identification, as no two persons, even identified twins have the same fingers
prints. That is why it is used in crime
detection.
In conclusion,
solutions are only possible where there are examination talks, large
classrooms, adequate seats and adequate number of teachers in school. A class where there are 150 students sitting
on the floor and windows with some armed with knives and locally made pistols,
an invigilator will not risk his life to prevent examination malpractice.
The government
can play a very big role in curbing this menace by providing enough classrooms,
desks and employing qualified teachers and also, during an examination, the
school should ensure that each student gets his/her own question paper and
provides enough invigilators.
The federal government has
established an Examination Ethics Committee.
All State Government, Local Government Councils should do the same
thing.
