The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has revealed that there is a coordinated cheating scheme, as some reportedly involve entire schools in premeditated examination malpractice.
WAEC has expressed deep concern, saying the menace is becoming a national security threat.
The council noted that such unethical acts, often facilitated by students, school authorities, and even trusted stakeholders, posed a serious threat to the credibility and integrity of the examination process.
The Head of Humanities at WAEC, Daniel Nii Dodoo, described at a regional stakeholders meeting in Cape Coast last Thursday, that the trend is a threat to both educational integrity and national stability, calling for a unified front to put an end to it.
He emphasized that despite intensified measures to curb it, the problem had reached alarming levels.
According to him, widespread examination malpractice undermines honest students, devalues our certificates, and may even lead to social unrest.
“This challenge goes beyond the classroom; it undermines our educational system, threatens national development and weakens our security framework. We must treat it as the national crisis it has become,” he stressed.
