Ebonyi State Ministry of education has demoted five school heads to class teachers over involvement in examination malpractices.

Also sanctioned were three officials of the Ministry for their alleged involvement in examination fraud during the 2016 Senior Schools Certificate Examination (SSCE).

Prof. John Ekeh, Commissioner for Education who made the revelation to newsmen recently said “The sanction followed the report of the examination body, which indicted 20 schools and some officials of complicity.”

Ekeh stated further that five head teachers have been demoted while 25 teachers and supervisors will be paid half salaries for three months.


“15 private schools indicted in the report will not participate in SSCE for one year and they will pay a fine of N100,000 to serve as deterrent to others,” Ekeh stated.
