365NEWS gathered that the National Examinations Council (NECO) has taken bold steps towards checking sharp malpractices in the recruitment process for Examination Supervisors and Assistant Supervisors for the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) and the Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE) Internal and External.
The Council, to this end, has digitalized the process of its recruitment.
A statement signed by the Director, Information and Digital Communication, Azeez Sani said the digitalization is to check sharp practices in the recruitment process and to enhance efficiency and effective service delivery.
It said the digitalization has come to stay as it has completely taken over from the manual.
“The process which involves migration from the manual recruitment of Supervisors and Assistant Supervisors to Online system would ensure that supervisors’ Nomination forms, Appointment Letters and Supervisors’ e-photo Albums are generated online.
“Also, the routine swapping of Supervisors and Assistant Supervisors during the Examination would be done Online,” the statement added.
The Council called on interested qualified Teachers with NCE, Degree certificates, Master’s Degrees, PhD and Professors whom it said are eligible to apply as Supervisors and Assistant Supervisors for BECE or SSCE Internal or External.
It could be recalled that before the digitalization system, the recruitment of Supervisors and Assistant Supervisors was done manually by the Council which were characterized with a lot of fraud.
