CAUSES AND EFFECTS OF EXAMINATION MALPRACTICE AMONG SECONDARY SCHOOLS 5



CHAPTER TWO
LITERATURE REVIEW
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.
