Anambra Goes Tough Against WAEC 'Miracle Centres'

'Miracle'  and 'Special' centre operators in Anambra state will soon face a storm as the state has declared war on their operation.

Anambra state Education Commissioner Prof. Kate Omenugha made the declaration when the state branch of National Association of Proprietors of Private Schools (NAPPS) paid her a courtesy visit.

The commissioner warned private schools’ proprietors in the state who create special and miracle centres, thereby promoting examination malpractices.

"Special and miracle centres would be fought against by the present administration. It is one of the visions of the government in the state. I will soon begin to visit schools to ensure that standard is maintained," Omegha said.

According to her, the ministry is determined to stop their dubious way of conducting examinations.

NAPPS President, Mr Sunday Anaekwe, promised that the association would support the ministry’s crusade against malpractices.

Special and miracle centres are illegal examination bodies that help students get the desired results in national examinations like WAEC for an agreed sum, sometimes involving school proprietors and officials of examination bodies.
