The Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, Prof. Is’haq Oloyede, has said some parents usually aide candidates to cheat during the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations.
Oloyede, while monitoring the 2021 UTME registration in Lagos on Wednesday, said many parents did not allow the candidates to take the exam based on their abilities.
He added, “In the bid to make sure that their children pass the exam, parents engage in one form of examination malpractice or another.”
He, however, said the CBT centres conducting the registration were orderly because parents were not allowed to come there, adding that they would have jumped the queue by paying their way through.
