Exams Malpractice: O-YES Cadets Assume BESEC Exams Supervision
The decision of Oyo state government to engage the cadet members
of Oyo state Youths Employment Scheme (O-Yes), in supervision of the
on-going JSS3 BESEC examination has been condemned by many, who viewed
the decision as 'cutting the nose to spite the mouth.'
While
strongly condemning the government decision to use O-YES cadets in
supervising the exams, a teacher in a public secondary school, who would
not want his name mentioned, said it might not be far from the truth,
the insinuation that government decided to engage the cadets members for
the exercise because of collusion of some teachers and their students
in perpetuating examination fraud, but it would amount to "throwing the
baby away with the bathwater" at the end of the day, as many public
school teachers never liked the act of malpractice.
In a rather
hot debate on a facebook group page ( Forum of iseyin people on
facebook), individuals argued that as much as it is undesirable for
teachers to engage in any form of malpractice, especially during
examinations, using inexperienced cadets as supervisors is tantamount to
leaving the future of the society out to decay.
The debators
advised the state government not to overlook the fact that the cadet
members would be lacking in requissite experience to supervise such
examination and that competent and trustworthy teachers should be
engaged in such, in other to secure a viable future for the children.
