Some Possible Solutions to Examination Malpractices



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.
