The number of admission seekers far outnumber the available slots in the tertiary institutions. This has created a huge competition for limited spaces hence the desperate moves by students, parents and teachers, who have resorted to sharp practices at every level to beat the system, thereby edging out honest students with their fraudulently acquired superlative results.
“Mr Bachel is the only solution for all the people in the nation that see education as the problem of our nation. Like me now, I have lost hope about all this education stuff have been doing WEAC, GCE, NECO for almost five years but I thank God today because I have made my result. Bachel is too much and one thing is that some people didn't know that we used our money to buy our self good things,” the student, Humble Sinner, said while praising the school.
As seen on the day of Mathematics, the external supervisors were not going to tolerate any nonsense, that was why the examination hall had to be tidied before they came in. However, on some other days, the supervisors looked the other way, for a price of course.Grace observed that the same supervisor came on the day for Civic education and Government and on both days, she observed the man collected a fat envelope after the day’s business.
WAEC spokesperson, Ojijiego, had advised that all complaints about examination malpractice be directed to the state Ministry of Education.
