Thirty-five (35) secondary schools in Rivers state have been banned from presenting candidates for the West African Secondary School Certificate Examination (WASSCE). The schools were reportedly banned over their involvement in examination malpractices. WAEC said it has de-recognised 35 schools in Rivers state over examination malpractice.
The River state's Ministry of Education has forwarded the letter de-recognising the affected schools to their owners, It was gathered that the letter was signed by the Deputy Registrar/Zonal Coordinator for Head of National office of West African Examinations Council (WAEC), S.D. Kum. According to Kum, all the schools affected by the ban will not register candidates for the examination until further notice.
It was noted that some schools in the state have acquired the notoriety of being called "Miracle Centres” where all manners of examination malpractices are allowed. It was learnt that the "miracle centres" are patronised by desperate candidates and their parents.
