The Bo campus Administration of Njala University has rusticated more than fifty students for engaging in various forms of examination malpractices during the first semester Examinations.
The rusticated students who are due to exit Njala University for one academic year were studying different disciplines in the schools of education, Community Health Sciences and School of Social Sciences and law. Two female students, F.K. Kamara final year Bsc, Nursing and F.J. Malla’s second year SRN upgrading and many others were expelled from the University for taking part in an illegal admission syndicate.
The campus administration headed by Professor Mohamed Syed Fofanah has uncompromisingly waged war on all forms of examination malpractices. The affected students were duly investigated consistent with principles of natural justice. It could be recalled that to curb the menace of exam malpractices in both Kowama and Tawama locations of the Bo campus last year at least eight four (84) students were rusticated for one year for their involvement in various forms of exam malpractices.
Meanwhile, members of the public including a retired medical practitioner, John Kortu have lauded the Njala University administration for their bold move describing it as an effort toward complementing the strides of the Bio led government in promoting the ideals of quality education.
” Examination malpractices appear to be a celebrated the norm in most educational institutions, the Universities, need to set firm precedents to jettison these awful celebrated occurrences” he opined.
