<\/P>
Commissioner for Education, Prof. Johncliffe Nwadike, disclosed this while speaking with newsmen in Owerri, on Monday.<\/P>
<\/P>
Nwadike, a former Head, Department of History and International Studies at the Imo State University, Owerri, said all possible loopholes for examination malpractices had been blocked.<\/P>
<\/P>
He said the committee would rove from one part of the state to another, to ensure strict compliance with set standards for the examination.<\/P>
<\/P>
According to him, a special team had also been set up to monitor members of the committee and make it difficult for them to compromise standard.<\/P>
<\/P>
\u201cThe Permanent Secretary of the Ministry and I set up a special squad to monitor the committee and supervise the supervisors to ensure strict compliance with set standards.<\/P>
<\/P>
\u201cWe interacted with the WAEC Coordinator in Imo, carried out sensitisation in schools, on the need for principals to nominate as supervisors those who can protect their integrity.<\/P>
<\/P>
\u201cWe also organised a workshop for supervisors, where we told them that violations of guidelines for the exams would attract sanctions such as suspension, demotion or outright dismissal,\u201d he said.<\/P>
<\/P>
He also said that reagents and chemicals required for laboratory tests were ready, adding that candidates in the state would not lack any necessary items needed.<\/P>
<\/P>
He however, assured Imo people that the ministry was working in close cooperation with the Federal Ministry of Education to ensure the release of all outstanding results for the 2022 WASSCE.<\/P>
<\/P>
He urged candidates, schools and supervisors in Imo, to fully cooperate with the arrangements to ensure a smooth conduct of the examinations.<\/P>
<\/P>
He expressed confidence that students in the state would excel in the examinations.<\/P>
