Examination
malpractice is a major phenomenon that adversely affects students in secondary
schools:
The following
can be regarded as some of the causes of examination malpractice in senior
secondary schools.
1. Test
Preparation: Can be a malpractice if
the students have access to the items or questions before taking the
paper. It involves staff, members of
examination authorities, messengers’ personnel employed to develop the papers.
2. Impersonation: An individual who is not registered as a
candidate but took the place of one that is registered. This is one of the biggest examination
malpractices. It involves collision
between school teachers and the examination supervisors.
3. External
Assistance: Individuals who are not
examination candidates, giving authorized assistance to candidates. It involves invigilators dictating answers,
writing on blackboard, circulating sheets of worked answers during the course
of examination or acting as couriers of materials into the examination centre.
4. Copying: Reproduction of another candidates work
with or without permission. It usually
involves only the candidate but can be facilitated by inadequate spacing desk
and laxity in supervision.
5. Bribery: Some female students go beyond sexual
gratification to buy gifts, like ties, shirt and writs-watches, etc. for their
teachers. Some malpractices timer
purchases gifts for supervisor and invigilators who become well disposed and
turn their eyes or look the other way allowing cheating to go on.
