The Federal Government has announced a nationwide ban on the admission and transfer of students into Senior Secondary School Three (SS3) across all public and private secondary schools in Nigeria, in a bid to curb examination malpractice. The directive, issued through the Federal Ministry of Education, was contained in a statement signed on Sunday by Boriowo Folasade, Director of Press and Public Relations.
According to the ministry, the move follows rising concerns over widespread examination malpractice, including the growing use of so-called “special centres” during external examinations, which authorities say threaten the credibility of Nigeria’s education system.
