It wad gathered that the recent development has attracted mixed reactions from members of the public and other stakeholders.
While some attributed the development to the government’s inability to improve the standard of education in the State, others are of the opinion that the State government should not be held responsible.
Some of those who spoke attributed the development to parents and the students’ failure to shun examination malpractices.
A parent who identified herself as Olaitan said that the government of the State should not be blamed.
“There is nothing that concerns the government on this. We have both public and private schools that were affected. If the government is to be blamed for the abnormality or examination malpractices in public schools, then can we also blame the government for what happened in private schools?
“We even have schools that are established by religious bodies. Who are the principals or heads of those schools? Are they not Muslims or Christians? It shows the level we found ourselves in the country”.
Another parent identified as Adeolu advised the State government to take drastic steps to avoid future occurrences.
He said that all stakeholders must be blamed for what happened.
He said, “We cannot totally blame the government, everyone is involved. The government must take drastic measures to avoid future occurrences.
“Parents and guardians must also take drastic measures to discourage their wards from examination malpractices. It is the responsibility of the students themselves to shun examination malpractices.
“So, it is the responsibility of all stakeholders. We must put a stop to this menace for us to move forward in Oyo State. We are known as a pacesetter State and we must continue to uphold the standard”.
