Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, former Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), has stated that parents are primarily responsible for examination malpractice in Nigeria, rather than the students themselves. This claim comes as part of a broader discussion on academic integrity in the country. Oloyede argues that parental influence plays a significant role in encouraging dishonest practices during exams.
The former JAMB official emphasized that the responsibility for malpractice extends beyond the candidates and into the home environment. His comments highlight a growing concern about the ethical standards in Nigerian education. Oloyede’s remarks were published in a recent article on Vanguardngr.com, where he called for a reevaluation of the factors contributing to academic dishonesty.
While Oloyede’s focus is on the role of parents, his statements align with ongoing debates about the need for stricter oversight in Nigerian examinations. The issue remains a contentious topic among educators and policymakers. (vanguardngr.com)
