We therefore hope that the National Examinations Council (NECO) will be thorough in their investigations into widespread malpractices involving 38 schools across 13 states during the conduct of the 2025 Senior School Certificate Examination. For years, a major proof of the downward slide in the education sector in Nigeria is the growing cases of examination malpractices. This has become a cause of grave concern considering the destructive effects on the education sector in the country. Since examination malpractices sometimes involve bribery, it is part of the general corruption the country is trying to uproot. We must also admit that examination malpractices are just symptoms of the general decay in the educational sector that must be addressed by all stakeholders.
