Apparently disturbed by the level of examination malpractices among the school leavers in the state, the Kogi government has vowed to end 'Miracle Centres' in the state.

The state government said it would pay close attention to so-called centres as part of its efforts to tackle examination malpractices during the ongoing 2021 Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE) in the state.

Speaking at a stakeholders’ meeting with exam monitors from the ministry and 21 local government areas, the state commissioner for education, science and technology, Wemi Jones, said the state would not allow such malpractices in the ongoing SSCE.

‘Miracle Centres’ are usually schools where teachers and invigilators closed their eyes to the examination malpractices by students.
