80 Percent Of Exam Malpractice Championed By Parents – JAMB
The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board, JAMB, has declared that more than 80% of examination malpractice is being championed by parents.
The examination body made the disclosure through the Chairman, Special Committee on Exam Malpractice, Jake Epelle.
Epelle, while responding to questions in an interview on ‘The Morning Show,’ a programme on Arise Television, said,
“Our educational sector is deeply troubled; many children today are wandering around with fraudulent certificates.
“Parents bear significant responsibility, as 80% of examination malpractice is instigated by them. Often, these same parents who take to social media to complain about how their children are treated are being disingenuous.
“When their claims are proven false upon further investigation, they often end up begging for forgiveness privately. We must act swiftly to address this issue,” he said.
