The Kwara State Government has warned Principals of Junior Secondary Schools and Headteachers of Primary Schools across the State against illegal charges for the State Placement Examination (Common Entrance).
The State Commissioner for Education and Human Capital Development, Hajia Sa’adatu Modibbo Kawu, gave the warning today in her office, stressing that the examination is fully sponsored by the Kwara State Government.
The Commissioner emphasised that the Common Entrance is free and government will not tolerate anyone or group of people extorting money, under any disguise from the pupils because the examination is fully sponsored by Kwara State Government.
Hajia Modibbo Kawu urged the Principals and the Headteachers to desist from all acts that can dent the image of the State Government, noting that violators would face the full wrath of the law.
She also cautioned them against aiding and abetting examination malpractices, stating that the present administration has zero tolerance for examination malpractices.
She implored the parents and guardians of the pupils to report any Principal or Headteacher with suspicious acts to her office directly, reiterating that her office is open to everyone.
