NECO Reforms Education Sector with Computer-Based Exams

The National Examinations Council (NECO) is spearheading significant reforms in Nigeria's education sector as it marks its 25th anniversary. During a celebration in Abuja, NECO's Chief Executive, Prof.

Dantani Ibrahim Wushishi, announced the upcoming implementation of Computer-Based Examinations (CBE), scheduled to commence later this year. This initiative aims to curb examination malpractice by enabling real-time monitoring of candidates and tracking suspicious activities.

NECO's mandate includes conducting credible external examinations and ensuring that certifications reflect genuine mastery of subjects. The council emphasizes the importance of adopting technology-driven processes to secure data management and enhance the integrity of examination results.

NECO's commitment to widening access and addressing disparities ensures that learners from various backgrounds have fair opportunities to demonstrate their competencies. The organization has gained recognition as a credible examination body, contributing to educational integrity and student outcomes in Nigeria and beyond.
