The Proprietor of a private school in Ilorin, Mr Moses Adeoye, has advocated the need to adopt modern technology to tackle examination malpractices in the education system of the country.
Adeoye, who made the call in Ilorin on Saturday in an interview, said examination malpractice must be stopped by technology for Nigeria to enjoy quality education.
According to him, examination malpractice has reduced the quality of number of graduates produced in the country.
“We need to actively use facial recognition technology, biometric system and CCTV cameras to halt the menace of examination malpractices.
“We need to kill exam malpractice via technology if we truly want to rescue education system in the country.
“It is becoming worrisome at all levels. Both internal and external exams must be strictly monitored.
“Manual approach is not enough. Government and education stakeholders should help provide enough technology and hire technology experts to tackle examination malpractice,” he said.
The educationist also advised school proprietors, teachers and parents to stop encouraging examination malpractices, and encourage discipline and hard work among students.
