CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
BACKGROUND
OF THE STUDY
Inside the
school hall in a typical Nigeria examination center, young men and women are
seated with rest attention as they listen to a middle aged, well built man,
clutching folder containing some sheets of papers. He is surrounded by other
ladies and gentlemen who apparently are waiting for the man to give the go
ahead to start the distribution of examination question papers and answer
booklets. He clears his throat and
pointing his fingers to nobody in particular as if sounding a warning to
a recalcitrant child who refused to heed to his mother’s scolding “if you like
go ahead and cheat in this examination misconduct will face twenty one years imprisonment”
This is the
kind of ceremony that usually precedes examination examinations. Examination
officials, invigilators school authorities as the case may be warn the
candidates against examination misconduct.
Examination
misconduct in Nigeria has attained a frightening proportion. It is
sophisticated and institutionalized. Efforts by government administration and
state-holders in the education sector to curtail the ugly trend have not yielded any fruit. One of the peremial and most
devastating problems militating against the educational system in Nigeria today
is examination misconduct.
This
phenomenon has been described in Denga and Denga (1998:3) as one of the
cardinal forms of educational misconduct. The authors further termed it as an
ugly canker and octopus that is rapidly assuming the status of a social, moral
and educational epidemic in Nigeria.According to them examination misconduct
has become so internalized and legitimized among students that most of them
regards it as a normal process of passing examination, without regards to its
associated consequences on the nation’s development.
It is
saddening by examination to note that examination bodies government
functionaries; school authorities, invigilators, parents and students all
participate in an unfair examination. The intractable nature of examination
misconduct has resulted in high turn over of half-baked graduates by
institution of higher learning, Eromosele (2005) since they cannot meet up with
the requirement of the society by passing the aptitude test given to them in
any inter-view.
Examination misconduct has long graduated from
the normal grafting at neighbor’s work, using key points notes or textbooks or
coping on sheets of paper referred to a micro-chips or coping on desk also
known as desktop publishing etc to a more advanced and more organized system of
buying question from examination bodies for the easy flow misconduct.
The miracle centers enjoy the patronage of
corrupt school administrators and examination officials. It is incontrovertible
that examination misconduct thrives in a corrupt society, which indicates that
it is the reflection of the society. It is in the psyche of the people
therefore it can only be tackled in the mind of the people.
Misconduct
has now become widespread in most secondary school in Enugu north L.G.A. As a
result of the ugly development in the educational sector behind the
administration of the examination tends to be undermined.
Furthermore,
examination misconduct has degraded our certificates. Those who are not suppose
to posses the certificate are holders of such certificates. The resultant
effect of confidently meet up with the rigors involved in the job s they were
employed to do.
The overall
consequent of this abnormally in our education sector brings about the fall in
standard of education as it is witnessed today. In turn it leads to other
levels of corruption in the society and the effect is out right reduction in
National product. The government, school administration and general public are
worried about menace. No wonder, why it becomes important to engage in detail
study of examination.
