The Federal Government on Wednesday said the National Examinations Council (NECO) Computer-Based Test (CBT) Senior School Certificate Examination had significantly reduced opportunities for examination malpractice, following reports of a smooth exercise and positive feedback from candidates.
The Minister of State for Education, Prof. Suwaiba Ahmad, stated this while monitoring the ongoing examination at Redeemers Teap School and Anglican Girls’ Grammar School in Abuja.
Ahmad described the successful conduct of the CBT examination as a major milestone in Nigeria’s efforts to restore confidence and credibility to public examinations.
She said interactions with candidates showed widespread acceptance of the new format, with many describing it as easier, more transparent and more efficient than the traditional paper-based examination system.
