WAEC to Name and Shame Cheating Schools in 2023 BECE and WASSCE
The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has announced that it will name and shame Senior High Schools (SHS) that engage in malpractice during the conduct of the 2023 BECE and WASSCE. This is part of the council’s measures to curb cheating in its examinations.
WAEC has put in place a number of measures to ensure the integrity of its examinations, including serializing question papers for some subjects and strapping question paper parcels. The council has also warned that any school found to be involved in cheating will be severely punished.
The naming and shaming of cheating schools is expected to serve as a deterrent to others. Schools should take steps to ensure that their students do not engage in malpractice. Parents should also talk to their children about the importance of academic integrity.
