Stricter Measures Against Exam Malpractice Introduced In JAMB

The Federal Government has announced stricter measures to curb examination malpractices in Nigeria.

Students found guilty could face a three-year ban from participating in external examinations.

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) disclosed this in a statement, citing Minister of Education Dr. Tunji Alausa's directive to crack down on schools or computer-based test centers conducting malpractice.

The directive applies to all major examination bodies in Nigeria, including WAEC, NECO, NABTEB, and JAMB. The policy aims to restore integrity to Nigeria's secondary education system and deter institutional malpractice.
