Lagos Govt Proprietors Agree to Close Schools Indicted for Exam Malpractice

The Lagos State Government has announced that proprietors of private schools indicted for exam malpractice have agreed to close down the affected institutions.

According to a statement released by the Lagos State Ministry of Education, the proprietors of the schools have accepted the government's ultimatum to shut down the schools or face further sanctions.

The decision comes after a thorough investigation by the Lagos State Examinations Board (LASUBEB) revealed that several private schools in the state were involved in exam malpractice during the 2022 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE).

The investigation, which was conducted in collaboration with the National Examination Council (NECO), found that some schools had engaged in mass cheating, including the use of mobile phones, notes, and other unauthorized materials during the exams.

The Lagos State Government had earlier given the proprietors of the affected schools an ultimatum to shut down the schools or face further sanctions, including revocation of their licenses.

The government's decision to close down the schools is aimed at maintaining the integrity of the examination process and ensuring that students are not cheated out of their right to a fair and honest education.
