Forty one teachers have been queried by the Delta State Government for exam malpractice during the 2019 West African Senior School Certificate Examination.
According to Mr Patrick Ukah, Delta Commissioner for Basic and Secondary Education, the decision was based on the recommendations by the Examination Ethics Disciplinary Committee of the state.
“They are to suffer deferment of promotion by one year and banned from the supervision of any school examination for a period of three years.
“I have directed the Post Primary Education Board to implement the deferment of promotions by one year for the 41 affected teachers.
“While others are being sanctioned, P.O. Okolo, is to be given a letter of commendation for a job well done during the examination.
“The principals and examination officers of 13 public secondary schools and one private secondary school indicted for examination malpractice are to be issued with letters of warning by PPEB to desist from acts of negligence.”
