Anambra Commissioner Vows to Punish Teachers Abetting Exam Malpractice

By Praise Chinecherem

Anambra State government has restated its commitment towards eradicating all forms of examination malpractices among teachers and students in the state.

The Commissioner for Education, Prof. Ngozi Chuma-Udeh stated this while addressing Principals and Head teachers in schools in the state during the just concluded pre-resumption meeting.

She warned that the present administration will not condone examination malpractice in any form.

She chided some teachers alleged to have assisted school children to earn unmerited grades in examinations, stressing that such actions could lead to destruction of such kids who could hardly defend their certificates.

“In line with Governor Chukwuma Soludo’s commitment to get education in Anambra State right, any teacher who aids and abets examination malpractice under my watch shall face the full weight of the law,” she warned.

Responding, President of All Nigeria Confederation of Principals of Secondary Schools, Mr. Jovita Arazu pledged support of teachers in the state to Commissioner Chuma-Udeh’s resolve to stamp out examination in the State.

He suggested blacklisting of supervisors who were found culpable.
