The
Minister of Education, Prof Ruqayyat Rufai, announced yesterday in Abuja that Candidates
who cheat during examinations conducted by the West African Examinations
Council, WAEC, now risk a five-year jail term under an amendment to the 2004
WAEC Act being proposed by Federal Government.
Under the proposed amendment, examination malpractice will fetch five-year jail term for offenders or the option of N200,000 fine or both.
Rufai said the decision of the meeting, which was presided over by President Goodluck Jonathan, was to “give effect to the revised convention of WAEC, 2003 in Nigeria.”

I
think this is a brilliant decision. Please share your thoughts.
