Rivers government demotes 14 principals

Rivers State Government has announced the demotion of 14 principals of public schools and the withdrawal of operational licenses of 21 private schools over their alleged involvement in examination malpractices.
The state Commissioner for Education, Kaniye Ebeku, disclosed this to newsmen in Port Harcourt, the state capital.
Ebeku said the action followed a letter written to the state Ministry of Education by the West African Examination Council containing a list of 35 secondary schools in the state that have been delisted for malpractices in the conduct of WAEC exams in 2021.
The commissioner added that the state government does not condone any form of examination malpractices, whether in public and private schools in the state.
