According to a news report from Daily Post, the Kwara State Government has cautioned principals of Junior Secondary Schools and head teachers of primary schools throughout the state against imposing unlawful fees for the state placement examination (Common Entrance).

Hajia Sa’adatu Modibbo Kawu, the state Commissioner for Education and Human Capital Development, delivered the warning on Tuesday from her office in Ilorin.

She stressed that the common entrance examination is free of charge and firmly stated that the government will not tolerate any form of extortion from pupils under any pretext, as the examination is fully funded by the state government.

Hajia Modibbo Kawu urged school principals and head teachers to refrain from engaging in activities that could tarnish the reputation of the state government.

Additionally, she cautioned against involvement in or condoning examination malpractices, asserting that the current administration has a zero-tolerance policy towards such acts.

The commissioner encouraged parents and guardians to promptly report any principal or head teacher suspected of engaging in questionable activities directly to her office, reiterating that her office is open to all concerned parties.
