[REPORT] Bayelsa Has The Worst Exam Malpractice Record In Nigeria

The 2012 Exam Ethics Report, by the Exam Ethics Marshals International, has identified Bayelsa, Sokoto, Ekiti and Imo, as the first, second, third and fourth worst states with exam malpractice records respectively.

Bayelsa State which was the worst state in the country had an Exam Malpractice Index (EMI) of 44.99%; Sokoto State with EMI of 27.9 %; Ekiti State EMI of 26.69%, and Imo State with EMI of 24%.

According to the report, there was a five percent rise in examination malpractices in the country from the Nigeria National Exam Ethics Index (EEI).

According to the report, the EEI is calculated based on the composite number of candidates, principals, teachers, supervisors, invigilators and schools sanctioned for malpractices by public examination bodies for the period and geopolitical unit under consideration.

“It is the measure of the number of candidates and exam administrators that respected the rules and regulations of examinations out of every 100 that participated in such examinations. The inverse, Exam Malpractice Index (EMI), is the measure of the number of people sanctioned for malpractices, out of every 100 that participated in the examination,” the report said.
