Kwara State government has warned principals of junior secondary schools and head teachers of primary schools against charging illegal fees for the common entrance examination in the state.
The state commissioner for education and human capital development, Hajia Sa’adatu Modibbo-Kawu, who gave the warning, said that the examination is fully sponsored by the state government.
She emphasised that the common entrance examination is free and the government would not tolerate anyone or a group of people extorting the pupils under any guise.
The commissioner urged the principals and head teachers to desist from all acts capable of denting the image of the state government, warning that erring principals would face the full wrath of the law.
She also cautioned them against aiding and abetting examination malpractices, stating that the present administration has zero tolerance for examination malpractices.
The commissioner implored parents to report any principal or head teacher with suspicious acts to her office directly.
