WAEC: GOVERNMENT PENALIZES 41 TEACHERS FOR EXAM MALPRACTICE
The Delta State Government has penalized 41 teachers for examination malpractice during the 2019 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE).
Patrick Ukah, the State’s Delta Commissioner for Basic and Secondary Education, made the announcement in a statement on Monday, September 21, 2020.
He said the decision to sanction the teachers was based on recommendations from the Ethics Disciplinary Committee of the State.
The Commissioner said 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.
