SAN FRANCISCO, September 22, (THEWILL) – The Delta State Government has demoted 41 secondary school teachers for examination malpractice during the 2019 West African Examination Secondary School Certificate Examination (WASSCE).
In a statement by the State Commissioner for Basic and Secondary Education, Patrick Ukah said the demotions are part of recommendations by the State’s Examination Ethics Disciplinary Committee. “They are to suffer deferment of promotion by one year and banned from the supervision of any school examination for a period of three years. I have directed the Post Primary Education Board to implement the deferment of promotions by one year for the 41 affected teachers”, he added.
Ukah said that while “P.O. Okolo, is to be given a letter of commendation for a job well done during the examination, principals and examination officers of 13 public secondary schools and one private secondary school indicted for examination malpractice are to be issued with letters of warning by the Post Primary Education Board to desist from acts of negligence.”
