The West African Examination Council says
it withholds results due to examination malpractices in its....
centres,
contrary to speculations that it does so when candidates perform
excellently.
While speaking at the 18th Youth
Empowerment and Restoration Initiative Career workshop organised by
Lonadek Oil and Gas Consultants in Lagos on Thursday, the Zonal
Coordinator of WAEC, Lagos and Ogun states, Mrs. C.O. Agwu, said
examinations conducted by the body were not to witch-hunt candidates,
but to examine their academic intelligence.
Agwu said, “WAEC rewards the best three
outstanding students in its examinations. Meanwhile, we cancel results
of candidates who score zero if there is any indicting report about the
centre. It is not about the score, it is about having reports of
malpractices at any of our centres.
“Imagine a situation where students from
the same centre had the same answers, made the same mistakes, and
committed the same errors. In such cases, we call subject professionals
to examine the situation and make recommendations.”
She advised students to pay adequate
attention to instructions, stressing that candidates lose marks when
they don’t pay adequate attention to instructions.
On the issue of leakage of examination questions, Agwu said it was due to loopholes from other concerned persons.
Share your thoughts....thanks!
