The penalty for cheating or assisting to cheat in the National Examination is non certification.
“External invigilators, schools and standards officers must report all observed malpractices to the Measurement Services Division for analysis and action,” stresses acting secretary for education, Dr Uke Kombra.
“Teachers are not allowed to view, read or access exam papers while conducting the exams.
“Mobile phones are also banned from the exam rooms for students and all school personnel.
“Principals and deputy principals must stay in school during all exams and enforce strict implementation of the schedule and abide by all Measurement Services regulations relating to examinations.”
Dr Kombra urges all concerned parties to make every effort to give students and schools “a fair go” and to be honest and say “no” to examination cheating.
